What kind of places
are heaven and hell? What kind of people enter
heaven? If it really does exist, where would it be?
Would it be outside the galaxy, on the other side of
the skies? Or is it only a product of our
imagination? These are questions that everyone will
have pondered and asked at least once.
In brief, heaven is a
world overflowing with God’s true love and
established with true love at its axis. It is a
world where true love is the external form as well
as the internal content of every environment. It is
a world where true love is consistent at the
beginning and end of life. It is a world full of
people who were all born through true love, who live
in true love, who live in the embrace of true love
and follow the track of true love, and who finally
pass on into the next world, the spiritual world.
Consequently,
antagonism and jealousy cannot be found in that
world, for it is a natural world where each lives
for the sake of the other. It is not a world
governed by money, honor or power. It is a world
wherein the success of a person represents the
success of the whole, the likes of a person
represents the likes of the whole, and the joy of a
person represents the joy of the whole.
Heaven is a world
filled with the air of true love, where all breathe
true love. It is a world where life throbs at any
place at any time. It is a world whose constituent
members are all connected to the true God through
blood ties. It is a place where the whole world is
linked together in an inseparable relationship, like
the cells in our bodies. It is a world that is
governed only by true love, the love that is God’s
essence. Accordingly, God also exists for true
love.
You should lead a life
that is completely devoted to true love. Your life
should be one in which you love God more than did
Adam, Eve or Jesus. Through thoroughly actualizing
true love, you should perfectly unite your mind and
body and find and establish the realm of the
relationships of true love. To put it another
way, you should perfect a true family on earth, and
at least the three generations of true parents, true
brothers and sisters and children should live
together in true love, because only then will you be
eligible to enter heaven.
What love is true
love? The essence of true love is not having others
serve one but giving and serving for the sake of
others. It is a love that gives and forgets that it
has given and that continues to give endlessly. It
is a love that gives with pleasure. It is the heart
of pleasure. It is the love of a mother holding her
baby to her bosom and breastfeeding it. It is love
expressed through sacrifice as when, with pleasure,
a child acts with filial piety toward his or her
parents. It is a love just like that God expressed
when creating humankind, an act requiring absolute,
unique, unchanging and eternal love that gives
without any conditions or expectations of receiving
anything in return.
True love brings about
the incorporeal order, peace and happiness that
serve the common good. True love is love that
determines the source, center and owner of the
universe. True love is the root, and the symbol of
the will and power of God. Therefore, when bound in
true love, it is enough to be together eternally;
for it is love that can attract not only the
universe but even God. The value of true love lies
in its power, which is strong enough to eradicate
the walls of national boundaries, races, and
furthermore, of religion, created by fallen human
descendents. That is why the absolute condition
necessary to enter the kingdom of heaven is a life
that has been lived for the sake of others, that is,
a life of true love.
