6. How We Should Relate to the Spirit World

 The spirit world is equivalent to the angelic world. Today’s world is in the same position as the world at the time of Adam and Eve. God created the spirit world before creating Adam and Eve.
 The satanic world came into being because the spirit world went against God’s will. Therefore, today’s fallen world can be restored only after the spirit world welcomes God’s will. Similarly, the Lord cannot come to the earthly world unless he first subjugates the spirit world. That is why the Unification Church has worked until today to bring the spirit world to natural surrender. Hence, the spirit world must help the Unification Church.

 Where is the spirit world? It is within your bodies. You walk around carrying the spirit world on your shoulders, attending it. So there is no escaping it. (162-116, 03/30/1987)

 The contemporary interest in electricity and space exploration helps accustom humanity to the ways of the ideal world of love. We can say by analogy that the spirit world is a world filled with the electricity of love. The electricity of love makes everything possible. For this reason, in the spirit world we can govern the form of existence through the structure of our thoughts.
 Then, what is the spirit world? It is a place that values eternal elements. It is a world of harmony, where everything is filled with love. Thus, the universe goes into operational mode with just a push of the love button.
 What is God’s Kingdom on earth? It is the place where we can open all the valves of love. Then what about the Kingdom of God in heaven? It is the place where we can open all the valves of true love.
 As long as you maintain a loving heart, when you tug on the rope of love, everything will come to you. When you release the rope, everything will go back to where it came from. When you pull the rope sideways, everything moves sideways. You can steer the universe any way you like. It does not resist, but moves automatically. Thus we can understand the meaning of the concept that the spirit world is filled with the air of love. If the God of love, who with the loving heart to feed all humanity at once and make them happy, says, “Let there be food!” then food will appear.
 In the spirit world you eat the food of love. People look at each other with eyes of love. There are no words to express the mystery of the spirit world. The more you hear about it, the more you want to hear. There is no concept there of being sleepy or tired. The spirit world is the place filled with the electricity of love. These days, people try to link everything to love. Why is that? It is to be in tune with the spirit world. The spirit world operates in this way, and people on earth inevitably respond to it.
 They cannot escape from its influence. When you see me in your dreams, I appear to you through the waves of God’s love. For that to happen, you cannot be asserting your ego. You have to become like pure gold, which has a very low resistance. There can be no self. In this state, you create a vacuum. When there is a vacuum, you can create a realm of resonance.
