God's Love: Transcending all Nations and Borders

Transcending National Borders
Only Love Freely Traverses Borders

"The Kingdom of God only comes from revolutionizing our hearts. The quality of our love has to rise higher and higher. We all have the potential for perfecting our love." Sun Myung Moon

What we are witnessing today is a whole new paradigm for creating a world without borders with abundance of goods and new opportunities for cooperation based on justice, equity, partnership and interdependence. Creating a world without borders, and bringing the brotherhood of man together as one big happy world family is surely the Will of God. As Sun Jin Moon, daughter of True Parents and President of FFWPU International, remarked:

My parents never lived their lives for individualistic or private purposes. As their child, I have witness how my parents lived each and every day in service to God, our Heavenly Parent, and in service to humanity, guided by a single vision of building one universal human family under God.
In the CSG chapter, "Only love freely traverses borders", Rev. Sun Myung Moon says, "Until now, human beings have been living in nations with different cultural heritages and borders, claiming them as their homelands.. All of them, however, are surely in the fallen domain." It's time, he continues, "We should leave and kick away this fallen domain, and find the homeland of love."

"Love transcends all national borders, for God’s love knows no boundaries." Sun Myung Moon, CSG p.323

Peace Road - project to transcend national borders 
"There are no borders in places that have true love," because "Love transcends all national borders, for God’s love knows no boundaries.. That is why the love of God is great. When love begins to flow regardless of the environment, the environment adapts to this flow and develops. God will be pleased only when we adopt the perspective that can make this happen. That is why we must walk the path of love." (CSG p.186) So the first step into removing barriers is to spread the Culture of Heart.

"In this age, war is the most primitive and destructive means of resolving conflict, and will never lead to lasting peace. Now is the time.. to beat our swords into ploughshares and spears into pruning hooks. 
Humankind should end the perverse cycle of war, which only sacrifices the lives of our children and squanders enormous sums of money. The time has come for the countries of the world to pool their resources and advance toward the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world desired by God, the Master of this great universe." Sun Myung Moon, Peace Message I

True Love Can Remove Barriers 

Clouds and ocean currents don't have national borders, Rev. Moon explains, but there are "borders between nations." "What is it with the human world? Anything that goes against the movements of nature will be broken." (CSG p.1879)

"Borders create problems," Father explained and God's providence is "moving in direction" of abolishing them. Only fear and selfishness make us rebel against God's will. But look at the trends in the world and you will see that this wind of change is unstoppable, because CSG p.895 says, "there are no borders in the mind of God." Once we realize God's ideal there will be no borders; we will be able to travel wherever we want and languages will eventually unite too:

"At the present time, visas and national borders create problems. Once language is unified, however, we will be able to live in any location as if it were our own hometown and country. In the end, things will move in this direction." (CSG p.765) 

It is not a first time for many of us when it is difficult to believe what Rev. Moon says is possible.  But yes, TRUE LOVE CAN REMOVE BARRIERS - Fear and Antagonism cannot! In fact, this is what brought building these barriers, on first place. This is the Physical Mind solving problems Satan's way. It's self protection way (Selfish) - not the Sacrifice self for other's way (True Love).

"You will be able to leave (your nation) and travel the world until you are seventy or eighty years old. Such an age is sure to come. I am making preparations for that time." (CSG p.766) 

Is this freedom to travel the world just for the rich, or God wants all his children to be free? If you are in a rich country and you see your brothers suffer in the third world, are you to hate them or to help them? If we selfishly hold on this system of separation and keep the rest poor, what is our level of heart? Where do we belong spiritually? 

"If you have a heart that can love... by transcending all nations and borders, you can be regarded as God’s son or daughter. This is the philosophy of the Unification Church." Sun Myung Moon, CSG p.481

I remember in the past, we didn't lock our homes. And my grandfather didn't have to cross borders to go to another country. Only after the World Wars these borders were made. That's how Satan woks. Scares people, so they themselves start creating their own prisons. In Communism that's visible to the highest extreme; Nations were Prisons. No one could move.

"Only the strength of true love can make total unity." Sun Myung Moon, CSG p.481

Christianity's purpose was to save the world, not to live for itself; self protecting and misusing others. But look at the history; they lacked "the strength of true love". We are supposed to sacrifice ourselves, serve others, but bring God's ideal substantially. The rich nations are to help the poor nations, because we are all God's family.

"Our goal lies in establishing a united world, transforming the world into one nation centered on God." Sun Myung Moon, CSG p.1429

But the mistake of selfishly protecting ourselves and keep others from God's grace was transmitted even in the spirit world. Paradise people made borders, so no spirit from lower realms can come, feel God's love and become a good spirit. That was the Christian disbelieve, luck of love way. But Dr. Lee and DMN talk how taking them to the high realm, evil spirits understand and want to change. This is the Unificationist way. Let's learn the difference!

Projects for Peace to Overcome National Borders

Rev. Moon, in 1935, had a vision of Jesus Christwho ordered him to fulfill the unfinished task of establishing God’s kingdom on earth. President, James Mancham, Seychelles (1976-77), wrote: "Father Moon has created a global alliance of religious, academic, political, civic and business leaders to work together to promote global peace and create what he calls a unified world in which people live together in harmony, cooperation and co-prosperity."

"The coming Lord must unite the world into one, making it a place without racial discrimination and without barriers between nations." Sun Myung Moon, CSG p.1428

World Peace is the dream of humanity. But how to abolish the borders; How to create the Model for the Ideal PEACEFUL WORLD. Perhaps no other person has founded and funded so many organizations for peace and human betterment than Reverend Moon. His works touch nearly every area of human endeavor. Here are just some of the most crucial steps he took to fulfill this mission:
  1. Freedom to travel - with this International Highway Project 
  2. Resolving historic cultural barriers through International Marriages 
  3. Religions uniting for the common cause of peace and moral society
Peace Road Project: As a True Parent of humanity, Rev. Moon stressed that national borders must first be eliminated before world peace can be realized. Thus, Rev. Moon proposed the construction of an International Peace Highway that also reflects his sentiment and wish for “a world without borders.”

International Marriages Blessing: Through the "30,000 Couples Blessing", Rev. Moon said in 1995, he aims to create a "connected international community," so that, "nationality, international borders, race, and culture became meaningless." "Until now, when marrying, people could not surmount those barriers.. of the same nationality," but, "We have begun a marriage movement, unprecedented in history, as brothers and sisters, demolishing all barriers separating countries, races, skin colors, religions, and cultures, through international joint weddings." (CSG p.1373)

Interreligious Unity: In Father Moon's words, "Religion is the only thing that is able to overcome national borders.” Let us stop looking for rationalizations for continuing the old, selfish ways - with borders and antagonism. "The place we wish to inhabit is heaven. Would there be borders in it? Of course not." (CSG p.1542) But if we are creating barriers here on earth, that's gonna be our situation even in the spirit world.

The Wind of Change is Unstoppable

Is it fair that States usurp the right of God to control who gets in and who cannot. Thus we have some very rich states and a lot of very poor ones. It is only natural that people would move from the poor states to the rich nations in search of freedom.

We see a parallel with the Roman Empire. While the Empire was internally collapsing in it's moral degradation, externally massive migrations were entering her territories. And when God moves the events for a providential purpose, no one can stop it. Roman Empire was blessed by God, not for it's own sake, but for the sake of the world. Now the western world is in the same position. No matter how much they try, they cannot stop the providence. Isn't it obvious that the West is now sinking in the same sexual immorality that destroyed the Roman Empire. The whole world is in urgent need to learn the teachings of Father Moon and embrace the Culture of Heart.

Now is the time to overcome Fear with True Love and join True Parents, to build God's Ideal substantially in our time. For building walls will only keep the problems for generations to come. Even then will be more difficult to abolish them. Let's practice Living for the Sake of Others from today, not in some ideal distant future. For if we don't spread love now, the future will never be one of Love, Peace and Harmony.

PASSING the Torch of PEACEMAKING
THE MODEL for the IDEAL PEACEFUL WORLD
AFRICA PEACE SUMMIT 2018: Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon


The Words of Rev. Sun Myung Moon:

"There can be no national boundaries in a world created by God. There can be no racial discrimination between blacks and whites. There can be no reason for conflict because only goodness prevails in such a world. Nevertheless, we see that the world we are living in is divided into separate nations by national borders. Discord and disunity come about due not only to racial discrimination, but even due to conflict within the family between husband and wife and between parents and children. People of goodness are struggling with those who are evil. Considering the current situation of the world, we can easily see that the coming Lord must unite the world into one, making it a place without racial discrimination and without barriers between nations. He must reunite all the broken families, and establish a kingdom of peace in this world where goodness and evil are in conflict." (CSG p.1428)

"Our goal lies in establishing a united world, transforming the world into one nation centered on God. That nation would have the one and only sovereignty, citizenry, territory and culture. Its people would be connected through the one lineage centered on True Parents. In that nation, everyone would want to become the ideal heirs by perfecting the realm of heart. They would be able to achieve what is taught in the Bible as, “Love your enemies!”" (God’s Will-789)

"After crossing the Pacific, do clouds from Japan say, “I don’t like the American clouds!” when they are about to merge with the clouds over America? .. Are there actual borders between nations? Then what is it with the human world? Anything that goes against the movements of nature will be broken." (268-26, 1995.2.7)

"There can be no national boundaries in a world created by God. There can be no racial discrimination between blacks and whites. There can be no reason for conflict because only goodness prevails in such a world. Nevertheless, we see that our world today is divided into nations separated by artificial borders." (53-72, 1972.2.9)

"All the nations of this world have been divided up or formed as the results of conflicts. In many instances, where two nations are divided by a border, that border is one of intensely painful resentment. We all know the historical reality that the fiercest fights have been fought and the most blood shed over adjacent borders, rather than, for example, the borders of a third or fourth nation. This shows us that the walls between two nations and the walls between two ethnic groups are the highest kind of walls. Conflicts are not always engaged in over distances of thousands of miles. From ancient times, wars have been fought across the borders between two neighboring countries. This is the reason why even you yourselves will find that you get into fights with those neighbors and people closest to you. Why? Because humankind has fallen. It is a result of the Fall that fights tend to start with one’s neighbors.. the fact that there have been numerous nations in the history of this small planet is evidence that there have also been numerous conflicts.

All nations seek a world of peace, but are they capable of getting there.. if we continue to harbor enmity towards a neighboring nation under the justification that it is our historical enemy, we can never achieve a world of peace. No matter how much we long for our ideal, and say how much we are marching towards our ideal, it is impossible to reach that goal. In order to negate the motives that give impetus to these conflicts, and wipe away our malformed, dysfunctional history we need a movement that will lead the way and embody the substantial content of the opposite direction." CSG 2157

“Forgive them for they know not what they do,” he was expressing this kind of amazing philosophy.. a model and archetype for all nations of the world to transcend the way they see each other as enemies, and also a model for transcending the borders between any two nations.

You can expect fierce battles, but you must love those enemies whenever you encounter them. If you possess this kind of spirit, someday victory can be yours. From what point will God’s ideal nation be realized? Where will the restoration of the homeland take place? It starts from the individuals who live by the philosophy to love their enemies. Therefore, as long as God exists, there is no way Christianity can avoid becoming a global religion, because Christianity offers a movement to break down national borders with love, to transcend all environments and cultural barriers, and to embrace even one’s enemies.

If you plant beans, you get beans, because kidney beans come from kidney bean seeds, and red flowers bloom from red flower seeds. In the same way, if you plant a satanic seed, a seed of taking revenge on your enemies, you will get a tree of evil – a tree of vengeance. But if you plant the seeds of goodness, the seeds of loving your enemies, you will get a tree of goodness, a tree of love for enemies. This is just a natural principle" CSG, 2160

"As the four seasons.. change.. you also should not stay just in one country. Once national borders are gone and the world is unified in this way, you should live going around the world as you please. When you go to a place you should not inflict loss on the people there. You should strive to advance." CSG, 2484

"This world is but a shadow of the spirit world. As that world has no borders, if you have a loving heart there, you will be able to relate to everyone you meet. The mind does not age. The older it is, the more beautiful it becomes... Those who live in the harmony of deep love will all become beautiful people." CSG, 2488
