This is truly a great
period in the history of our movement and also in the
history of humanity. As you know, Father has shown us,
through his untiring dedication and sacrifice, a
testament to the devotion he has for Heavenly Father,
the devotion he has to fulfilling his responsibility as
True Parents of all mankind. Now we, as their sons and
daughters, have to inherit that type of commitment, that
type of dedication to mission, to our purpose.
As you know, life is
nothing without purpose. If you had no purpose in life,
what would you do? What value would your life have?
Because man has purpose and that purpose has been
ordained and given by God, we have to be responsible. We
have to be responsible to fulfill that purpose. Now what
was that purpose which God ordained for man? What is
that purpose for humanity which is given by God? It's
time for a Divine Principle lecture. (Laughter)
When God first created
Adam and Eve, He must have had a purpose. For everything
that we see in creation, there is a reason for it to
exist. Everything in creation is interconnected and is
working in harmony. If you take one piece of the
creation out, it causes an imbalance. So through
creation, we can realize that God always has a purpose
for everything He creates.
The same is true for
human beings: God had a purpose. What was that purpose?
That purpose was to be a receptacle of love, to be an
object of love. When you observe the creation,
everything exists in the pair system. Why is it created
that way? We see male and female animals, we see male
and female parts on plants, we see positive and negative
charges on the atomic level. Always we see this type of
pair system. Why is the pair system necessary?
Just by talking?
Let me ask you a
question: can you consummate an act of love by talking
to yourself? Can you say, "I love myself," and then just
feel fulfilled through reciprocal action? Maybe your two
hands can say, "I love you" to each other. But will you
find true fulfillment from that type of give and take
action? No, and that is why God created everything in
the pair system, where one side represents this aspect
[the man's side] and the other side which represents
this aspect [the women's side] and they are totally
different.
Through the reciprocal
action which exists between those totally different
entities, you can find a formula for love. Therefore,
when we see the creation, it is based on the pair
system. Even within our own individual selves, we see
the pair system, don't we? We have subjective and
objective characteristics. We have spirit and body,
which is another type of subject and object
relationship.
Why did God create the
whole universe according to this pair system? It was for
the consummation of love. Everything, all of creation,
can be a reflection of love.
So from the creation,
we can see that everything was made in the pair system.
Why did God create all the creation that way? It was so
that everything could be a reflection of love. As our
Parents have come here many times and have testified to
you, it is very hard to consummate love unless you have
an object which can reciprocate that love.
So from the beginning
of creation, God wanted to consummate this love. Even
though His being also had pair systems, our Heavenly
Father needed an object. Within yourself, you are a
reflection of love because you are built on the pair
system concept. You have positive and negative atoms
that make up your whole body, you have positive and
negative aspects of your character. You might have
passionate aspects, and at other times you might be very
quiet and reticent, even you men. And you also have
aggressive, assertive qualities. These are positive and
negative kinds of qualities. Your aggressive qualities
symbolize and reflect the subjective characteristics,
that which is more domineering.
Then those reticent,
more quiet characteristics represent the objective
characteristics. So even within human beings, if you
look at the whole spectrum of qualities within human
existence, we see the concept of a pair system being
displayed.
God made us so that we
can become a reflection of His love. However, even
though you have those kinds of qualities, it is very
hard for you to reciprocate those qualities within
yourself alone. As an individual entity, you need some
object to relate with. Therefore, God also has his
individual nature and even though He was the reflection
or essence of love, He also needed an object with which
to relate. Therefore, the purpose of man's creation was
for man to become the true inheritor or the object of
love. That's why God created Adam and Eve.
