True Parents Legacy

What did God most long to see when He created a man and a woman?In this address, Reverend Sun Myung Moon describes the love of man and woman as it was meant to be in the original creation — a love in which each is born for the other's sake, in which God Himself comes to dwell, and which is realized not by force or by ease but naturally, like a deep and acquired taste. From the harmony of the sexes to the rapture of true love, he traces why this union stands at the center of the universe.True Parents Legacyhttps://tplegacy.net/the-love-of-man-and-woman-in-the-original-creation/

If God is truly all-powerful, why has He never simply destroyed Satan?In this address, Reverend Sun Myung Moon takes up one of theology's hardest questions and gives an unexpected answer: that God, bound by the very principles of love He established, cannot strike His fallen archangel by force — and that Satan accuses God using God's own law. The way out, he teaches, is not power but love, and a person willing at last to accuse the accuser.⁠True Parents Legacy ArchiveThe Reason God Cannot Punish Satan

Why is it, exactly, that we call a childless person lonely?In this address, Reverend Sun Myung Moon reflects on filial love: how in loving our own children we come to feel how God loves us, why a true child repays the debt of parental love, and how the path of the filial child runs in one straight line to the patriot and the saint.

What makes a person truly happy — a fortune in diamonds, or a whisper from the one they love?In this address, Reverend Sun Myung Moon speaks of the love that men and women long for: youth as the most precious, once-only season; man and woman created for one another; and the embrace of two hearts as the point where, he says, the universe becomes one.

Why would a fish that lives in the river ever need to taste the sea?In this address, Reverend Sun Myung Moon calls earthly life a short but precious season — a training ground where, through family and the love of parents, spouse, children, and siblings, we develop the loving character we will carry into the spirit world.

Could a dandelion by the roadside be worth more than a gold crown in a museum?In this address, Reverend Sun Myung Moon presents the whole of nature as a textbook and museum of love — a world God made by investing everything He had, where insects sing for their mates, birds and flowers harmonize in pairs, and even the mountains seem to dance. To love creation, he says, and to weep for it, is to learn how to love God.⁠⁠⁠True Parents Legacy ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Love of the Natural World

Where is it that all of us — you, this nation, even heaven and earth — are quietly headed?In this address, Reverend Sun Myung Moon turns to the one destination no one escapes: the spirit world beyond this brief earthly life.

Around what does a human life turn — and what in us never ages?In this address, Reverend Sun Myung Moon describes the human mind circling God as an electron circles its nucleus, and asks what truly makes us "lords of all creation."
