3.2 The world of love where education is unnecessary
Did you learn how to love in your family? Does any parent tell their children that they must learn how to love their parent from them? Did you get that kind of education at home? From whom did parents learn how to love their own children? Did anyone teach you how you should make love as a newly wed couple? All mankind knows how to make love without being taught by anyone. Isn't that mysterious?
Also, your mind can discern what is good and what is bad without having to go through a learning process. From whom does the mind learn how to tell what is evil and how to be on the alert against it? The body may be bigger in size and stronger than the mind, but that does not matter.
Rather, proportionate to that bull strength, the mind uses an instantaneous response more rapid than electricity. If we decide we want to do otherwise, our body will cease performing a particular action instantly. How much education do we need to be able to do that? If a man could be trained to do that through education, he would be a great success. However, no matter how great an educator, he or she can never teach anyone this kind of thing. Did you learn how to do it, or not? Even though you didn't learn from someone how to control your body like that, you all know how to do it well, right? (23-20, 05/11/1969)
If your son is going to get married, do you ask him whether he has received education for the past twenty years so that he can become a husband? Did anyone educate you from your birth that "this is what you have to do to win a wife"? Did you men receive instructions before your marriage? The way of love transcends all things.
If a husband loves his wife, he doesn't need any education about her. If a wife knows about love, she does not need any special education about how to treat her husband. The same for children. Rather, education becomes a hindrance.
Imagine if a husband and his wife are living together happily, and their parents suddenly fling open the door of their house to ask "Are you loving each other?" Do you think the young couple will not feel good about that? The place of love is a sphere of equality, a sphere of liberation. Nobody has the right to interfere there, and that is why love is so good.
You have to understand that love is in charge of a world that requires no education. You don't need education here! Who teaches love? Think about it. How can sparrows be taught about loving their young? Does God instruct them how to love, waving a baton in His hand to teach them? No, they just meet and they know how to go about what they have to do. Isn't it strange? How do they bear their young? How do fish lay eggs in the water? Nature is truly mysterious and awe-inspiring. Who teaches nature to be like it is? No one. No one needs to. Everything is carried out according to heavenly law, according to the laws of nature and circular motion. It does not need to be taught. (60-78, 08/06/1972)
Love does not need to be taught, nor does it require intervention from anybody. We can feel it in our bodies automatically. We do not learn it due to someone's explanation, or by the use of the brain, through the structure of our consciousness, or thanks to our experiences, but we know it innately through our physical bodies. We do not come to know it only after experiencing it, or being aware of it and then experiencing it. We know it even before we feel it or experience it. It is something we know directly through feeling. (139-202, 01/31/1986)
Our minds and bodies become completely one through the power of God's love, but we have never really experienced that oneness, because of the Fall of the human ancestors. If not for the Fall of man, the mind and body would have completely united based on God's substantial love. In a world of love that revolves around that intrinsic love, education does not exist, nor are there any teachers. God is the only teacher. Mankind knows love without being taught.
When the mind and body become one, the universe is like putty in our hands. Everything becomes a microcosm of the universe, and we understand everything. There is no need to learn. Human beings will not need to be told how to live, nor will ethics or morality be necessary. What ethical or moral lessons do the sparrows or the animals need? Animals know how to protect themselves and physiologically group themselves in their own species. Why are human beings, the lords of creation, so ignorant in this regard? It is due to the Fall. Because of the Fall, struggle and conflict came into being. (162-222, 04/12/1987)
Only love can become the nucleus. The nucleus always maintains its position even after having rotated for a millennium. If the nucleus becomes circular, the nucleus itself would always be in the vertical position. No matter where it is placed, it always stands at a right angle instantaneously. It does not need to be taught this. It synchronizes itself with the frequency of the universe. (197-60, 01/07/1990)
The Unification Church teaches about mind-body unity. There is no secret formula. Mind-body unity cannot be achieved by money, or through any means of training or education. It is only possible with true love.
So how can we plant true love? God can only have hope in the sphere that overcomes the connection to the love, life and blood lineage sown by the human ancestors in the satanic world. Only by understanding things from this context can we make sense of the paradoxical logic of the Bible. (206-198, 10/07/1990)
If love does exist, we have to investigate theoretically the question of where the terminal of love is, of where love leads. As long as this issue remains unresolved, no theory of love will hold water, and accordingly, it cannot be successfully popularized or taught.
What on earth is this thing called love? Where does it lead to, where does it come to settlement, and is that place changing or unchanging? This is a very serious question. After all my experiences of difficulty and suffering, I came to the following conclusion: "Love is always the shortest route." When I understood this one fact, I danced with such joy. That joy has the power to transcend thousands of years of time. (211-242, 12/30/1990)
At which point do the vertical and horizontal come into unity? Because they move, and because of its spherical nature, these two become one only at the most central point. When they move and converge at the most central point, the entire universe resonates. Even the spiritual world feels it.
The world that is based on love does not need an education system nor does it need anyone to dominate and govern it. Rather, you yourself become governed by that love. Even God will submit to the rule of love completely. And if you are headed in the wrong direction, that world corrects your direction and sets you on the right way. You automatically know the way you have to go. (214-230, 02/02/1991)
When man is united with true love, it becomes possible to elevate the noble value of humanity to the highest point. Mind-body unity refers to our conscience and physical body standing in continual resonance. When two tuning forks are of the same frequency and one of them is struck, the other one will also resonate.
Similarly, if the conscience is struck with true love, the body will resonate, and vice versa. No education is needed there. If you go into the core, you will come to know everything there is to be taught. (223-355, 11/20/1991)
True love does not need to be taught. We have been designed to know it automatically. When you arrived at the age of puberty or were old enough to be married, did somebody have to tell you to think about the opposite sex? Even a young woman of high birth who has been raised by a strict mother will climb over a wall if she hears the sound of men coming along the other side. She doesn't need to be told this, nor can anything stop that impulse.
In our world today we have sex education and all kinds of free sex, but we don't need it. Does the animal kingdom need sex education? They know how to do it automatically as soon as they come together.
Likewise, a magnetic needle automatically points to the north and south without being taught to do so. If the mind and body are harmonized in God's true love, they will automatically align themselves even with the four directions of north, south, east and west. (272-91, 08/30/1995)
