As we have discussed in our previous sections of this article (see our website), the creation process takes place through the subject-object partners (male/female; + -) principle directed by purpose (love). This “Principle of Creation” is ubiquitous throughout the universe and is actively involved from the microcosmic to the macrocosmic levels. Thus, the entire universe exists as a unified body of multitudinous paired entities, “each to its own kind,” replicating its own kind, while inter-relating with all others.

The mystery of creation is solved when scientists come to understand that the structural DNA (and related biological parts) of differing living beings, including man, is only an aspect of external nature.

It is purposed by the Original Cause to be a “receiver of life (conscious- ness)” and is not life itself.

There are two basic types of the creation process: sexual (male+female=offspring) and inventive (creator+materials=works). In both cases, the internal spiritual and external physical realities become unified through reciprocal relationship centering on purpose (love) creating a resultant being which reflects the nature of the parent being (principle of resemblance). Scientists, focusing only on the externals of life while ignoring the principles and values of religion become seriously handicapped in their efforts to understand and replicate the true reality.

The power of life is embodied in and generated by the Original Cause (God)-Gen.2:7. For man to obtain the power to create (sexual and inventive) true life, he must be absolutely united with God in heart having fulfilled His original purpose (1:28).

Family is Forever Corner

“We must establish families where the flowers of true love blossom in full glory. When a man and a woman who are perfected in true love enter into a husband and wife relationship, and bear and raise children, then this family becomes a true family. Peace will automatically be in this family, and it will overflow with happiness. The children must maintain their sexual puirity until they meet the mate with whom their parents match them. After marriage they must maintain fidelity to their spouse in the same way as their parents did. This will extend the true family to the second generation. God will settle in the third generation of this true family.”

The Purpose of History and Restoration Through Human History
Prominent historians such as Vico, Spengler and Toynbee have explained that there are certain laws working in human history. There are, however, differing opinions as to the nature of these laws and how they affect history. Views such as: the rise and fall of civilizations, the linear, cyclical or spiral nature of history, and the general consensus in modern historical thought that the many cultural spheres of the past have been merging to form one global community, are but a few.

The philosopher Hegel explained that the Absolute Spirit (Welt Geist-God) is guiding history in order to manifest Himself. Marxism-Leninism presented historical materialism as a development of its dialectic, and declared to the world that history was on an inevitable path of violent revolutions to realize world communism - a totalitarian state, epitomizing the dictatorship of the proletariat (the working class).

What is the true purpose of human history? Where is it headed? And, what are some of the laws guiding it?

The Unification Principle sees a history of re-creation and restoration of man and creation. God is working through His Principle of Restoration in order to accomplish His original Purpose of Creation. The numerical time periods laid out in our charts represent special mathematical formulations based on the Principle of Creation. God is also working to restore the significance of these numbers (to be explained in the advanced UP lectures) as they were originally constituted.

Because Christianity was not able to fully develop a constructive and systematic historical perspective, Marxism-Leninism was able to seize the moral-intellectual high ground by producing historical materialism. The Unification view, based on God’s original ideal (previously described in the Principle of Creation), shows that, because of the Fall of man, God had to work to reverse the mistakes of Adam and Eve in order to build a foundation for the Messiah (the new Adam) to be born.

For the Messiah to come, a “Foundation of Faith” and a “Foundation of Substance” must be accomplished by a special “central figure” chosen by God (e.g., Noah, Abraham, David). Also, central to this dispensation, God desires that His “chosen people” create a secure national base for the Messiah. Further, the chosen people must fully receive the Messiah, unite with him, and build the eternal Kingdom of God. The intricate dynamics of history are therefore interwoven and governed by these and other restoration principles. In Adam’s family, Cain and Abel were to have united, fulfilling both the Foundation of Faith (making good offerings to God) and Foundation of Substance (unity in love). Instead, Cain killed Abel (Gen.4:1-12) creating a base for bloodshed (warfare), and prolonging the providence of God.
