Sun Myung Moon's Teaching: See Through the Eyes of Love

Sun Myung Moon's Teaching:
See Through the Eyes of Love

Learn to see through the eyes of love; see life through the eyes of love and everything becomes beautiful to behold. 

How awesome it is to see through the eyes of love and how there may be a way to do that... as a result, every aspect of your life would somehow be better. To practice true love, we must look at everything through the eyes of true love - our spouse, children, neighbors, all people, and all of nature. Then everyone and everything becomes beautiful to behold.

Rev. Sun Myung Moon truly saw with eyes of love. Everyone who reads his testimony, Autobiography, is moved with the beautiful lessons for wise living. His childhood that I recently had the pleasure of reading about had a transforming effect on many readers' life. This tender and difficult story of loving the world brought a stream of tears to my eyes many times around. I believe that this young man, now age of 90, can teach us all a few principles for seeing beyond the oyster shell of a beastly appearing man in order to behold a precious pearl embedded in the heart of a charming child of God.


In the end, the only thing that really matters teaches Rev. Moon is not how much knowledge, status or possessions we have gained in our lifetimes. What really matters is how much we have loved others.

If misunderstood and persecuted in the past, Rev. Moon is now being broadly recognized precisely for this matter - his ability to love unconditionally and remove barriers between religions, ideologies and ethnic groups. As Irving Hexham - Professor of Religious Studies wrote:

"Clearly, the Rev. Moon is a great religious visionary who ranks among the greatest religious figures of history. Clearly, he is a very gifted, far sighted, individual who has a keen sense of history and God’s providence. Clearly, he is a charismatic figure who attracts followers by his example, lifestyle and teaching."

In Matthew 5:38–48 Jesus says, “When you love without limits, you are like God.” There is much in all this (Mt 5:38-48) which calls loudly for solemn reflection. How to love our enemy? How to transform this world into a world of true love if we ourselves cannot see through God's eyes - through the eyes of true love?

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven.

How did the Lord perceive the sinful woman? Instead of listing all of her sins thus condemning her, He just said, 'where are your accusers?'. When none were found, He told her to go and sin no more. He didn't look on her as sinful. He saw through the eyes of love.

When looking at the faults of others, we are in no way looking to the Lord. How can we? Our eyes are focused elsewhere into the darkness of sin. In The Imitation of Christ, Thomas a Kempis writes: "Love is a great thing, yea, a great and thorough good: by itself, it makes everything that is heavy, light, and it bears evenly all that is uneven."

And here is the man, Rev. Moon, who was most hated and persecuted in life. Yet he never succumbs to hatred but found the way to love his enemies, the way to even win their hearts. His only strategy was to give and forget, to try to love his enemies again and again, until all barriers and walls are removed solely by the practice of true love - living for the sake of others.

God's ultimate purpose for creating us, teaches Father Moon, "is to experience joy through relating with ideal families filled with true love... To become God's children, our first responsibility is to resemble Him. We need to embody true love." Family is that school of love, he explains:

"The ideal family is the model for living together in peace. The ideal family is the nest where we live and learn to become one. There we have foundation of love and respect between parents and children, shared trust and love among siblings." - Sun Myung Moon

Yet, his vision for true love transcends all boundaries. His aim is to empower "White and Black, Jews and Muslims, Orientals and Westerns, and all people of all races to live as one human family." To reach that we have to love others more than ourselves.

I learned to see through the eyes of true love from the example of Rev. Moon. Once I start to see life through the eyes of love, everything becomes beautiful to behold.

What is the purpose of our lives? Where do we go afterwards? Is there life in the spirit world? What will the ideal world be like?

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

CHAPTER 1. PRINCIPLE OF CREATION

CHAPTER 2. FALL OF MAN

CHAPTER 3. CONSUMMATION OF HUMAN HISTORY

CHAPTER 4. ADVENT OF THE MESSIAH

It was explained earlier that when the Ideal World of Peace is realized - through the fulfillment of the three great blessings and the establishment of the four position foundation - it becomes the good object partner that gives joy to God. Let us investigate how the Kingdom becomes God's good object partner.

The key to our first purpose in life, the first blessing, is the perfection of individual character. 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 the substantial object partner to his mind. Because the center of his mind is God, he also lives as the 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 inspire 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.

God's second blessing was to be fulfilled by Adam and Eve after they had achieved individual perfection as object partners to God, each manifesting an aspect of God's dual characteristics. In order to construct the four position foundation in their family, Adam and Eve should have joined in loving oneness as husband and wife and raised children. This would have been the fulfillment of the second blessing.

A family or society that has formed the four position foundation in line with God's ideal is patterned after the image of a perfect individual. It thus becomes the substantial object partner to the individual who lives in oneness with God, and consequently, it also becomes the substantial object partner to God.

The individual feels joy, and likewise God feels joy, when each perceives in this family or community the manifestation of his own internal nature and external form. When God's second blessing is fulfilled, this family or community also becomes a good object partner giving joy to God.

Before we examine how a person upon attaining the third blessing establishes a good object partner giving joy to God, we must first investigate the relationship between human beings and the creation from the viewpoint of internal nature and external form.

Prior to creating human beings, God created the natural world by expressing partial reflections of the internal nature and external form He had conceived for human beings. Consequently, a human being contains within himself the sum total of the essences of all things. This is the reason he is called the microcosm of the cosmos.

When God created living things, He began with creatures of a lower order. Over the course of time, He created animals of a higher order with more complex biological functions, culminating with human beings at the highest level. Therefore, human beings contain all the elements, structures and qualities found in animals. For example, human vocal cords are so versatile that they can imitate virtually any animal sound. Because the human body contains all the beautiful curves and lines of the creation, an artist hones his skills by drawing nude models.

Although human beings and plants have different structures and functions, they are similar in that they both are composed of cells. All the elements, structures and characteristics of plants can be found in human beings. For example, a plant's leaf corresponds to the human lung in appearance and function. As leaves absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the human lung absorbs oxygen. Branches and stems of plants correspond to the human circulatory system, which distributes nourishment to the entire body; the xylem and phloem correspond to human arteries and veins. The roots of a plant correspond to the human stomach and intestines, which absorb nutrients.

Human beings were fashioned from clay, water and air; consequently they contain elements of the mineral kingdom. Moreover, the earth displays a similarity to the structure of the human body: the earth's crust is covered with plants, its underground waterways exist inside the substrata, and beneath it all lies a molten core surrounded by a rocky mantle. This resembles the structure of the human body, which has skin covered with hair, blood vessels running inside the musculature, and marrow lying deeper still within the bones.

The meaning of God's third blessing is the perfection of a human being's dominion over the natural world. To fulfill this blessing, the four position foundation of dominion must be established centered on God. Human beings and the natural world, which are the substantial object partners of God at the level of image and symbol respectively, must share love and beauty to become completely one.17(cf. Creation 5.2.3)

The natural world is an object partner which exhibits human internal nature and external form in diverse ways. Hence, ideal human beings receive stimulation from the world of nature. Sensing their own internal nature and external form displayed throughout the creation, they feel immense joy. God also delights when He experiences the stimulation of His original internal nature and original external form from the universe; this is possible when it becomes His third object partner through the harmonious union of human beings and the natural world. Therefore, when human beings realize God's third blessing, the entire universe becomes yet another good object partner giving joy to God.

Had God's purpose of creation been realized in this way, an ideal world without even a trace of sin would have been established on the earth. We call this world the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. When life in the Kingdom of Heaven on earth comes to a close, people are to enter the spirit world and naturally enjoy eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven there.

Based on the discussion thus far, we can understand that the Kingdom of Heaven resembles a person who has achieved individual perfection, taking after God's original internal nature and external form. In an individual, the mind's command is transmitted to the whole body through the central nervous system, causing the body to act with one purpose. Likewise, in the Kingdom of Heaven, God's direction will be conveyed to all His children through the True Parents of humankind, guiding everyone to live as one. The complete text
