Let's Shift from the Culture of Selfishness to a Culture of Heart

The history of wars and suffering existed because never in history did humanity establish the Culture of True Families - The Culture of Heart, that God wanted his children to create. History was filled with sexual promiscuity, misuse and distrust.

	The Blessing Overcomes Historic Boundaries

To move towards establishing of a culture of true and Godly marriages now millions of couples participate in the International Marriage Blessing Ceremonies organized by Rev. Sun Myung Moon, the founder of Unification Church.

As the Lutheran minister, Dr. Don Olsen said, "This can bring the best in our faith, if we can come together, embrace each other and be a model for the world around us. That's what we have to do in our faith today."

Now leaders of every faith are responding to the world problems by joining together in a Movement for Peace, that only the presence of God and the Power of Love can achieve. What other power, accept for the Power of God, could bring millions of couples and distinguished leaders of all faith and religion to this Blessing Festival of Love.

The Way to Peace through the Holy Blessing

Until now, all weddings were centered on the people who were getting married, but our wedding ceremony is significant and necessary in order to set a condition to indemnify the past history. The cross-cultural marriages contribute to the enormous task of transcending the barriers of race, culture, nationality, ethnicity and religion and creating one family of humankind.

"In God’s sight, skin color makes no difference. God does not recognize national borders. God does not stand behind the barriers of religion and culture. They are nothing more than the devil’s tricks. The devil has used them to rule over humanity as a false parent for tens of thousands of years", explains Rev. Moon.

From Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon: Peace Messages

Imagine two enemy families who have cursed each other throughout their lives, people who would never dream of living together. What would happen if these families joined together through a cross-cultural Holy Marriage Blessing? If a son from one family and a daughter from the other became husband and wife, loved each other and built a happy home, would the parents in these two families curse their own children? If that son loved this beautiful daughter of a hated enemy, and she, as the daughter-in-law, were to gave birth to Heaven’s grandchildren as pure and clear as crystal, the grandparents would smile with pleasure. In time the two lineages once soaked with enmity would be transformed.

What method other than cross-cultural marriage will empower Whites and Blacks, Jews and Muslims, Orientals and Westerners, and people of all races to live as one human family? The ideal family is the model for living together in peace. The ideal family is the nest where we live and learn to become one. There we have the foundation of love and respect between parents and children, shared trust and love between husband and wife, and mutual support among siblings. For this fundamental reason, you should receive the Holy Marriage Blessing from the True Parents and establish Heaven’s tradition of ideal families, even if it means risking your very life.

A Life of True Love

To resemble God, the original Being of true love, we should become the owners of true love. We should embody true love and practice it in order to develop our character. This is the way each of us can become true parents.

What is a life of true love? True love is the spirit of public service. It brings the peace that is at the root of happiness. Selfish love is a mask of the desire to have one’s partner exist for one’s own sake; true love is free from that corruption. Rather, its essence is to give, to live for the sake of others and for the sake of the whole. True love gives, forgets that it has given, and continues to give without ceasing. True love gives joyfully. We find it in the joyful and loving heart of a mother who cradles her baby in her arms and nurses it at her breast. True love is sacrificial love, as with a devoted son who gains his greatest satisfaction in helping his parents. God created the universe out of just such love: absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal, investing everything without any expectation or condition of receiving something in return.

True love is the wellspring of the universe. Once we possess it, true love makes us the centers and the owners of the universe. True love is God’s essence and the manifestation of His will and power. When we are bound together in true love, we can be together forever, continually increasing in the joy of each other’s company. The attraction of true love brings all things in the universe to our feet; even God will come to dwell with us. Nothing can compare to the value of true love. It has the power to dissolve the barriers fallen people have created, including national boundaries and the barriers of race and even religion.

The main attributes of true love are that it is absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal, so that whoever practices God’s true love will live with God, share His happiness, and enjoy the right to participate as an equal in His work. Therefore, a life lived for the sake of others, a life of true love, is the absolute prerequisite for entering the kingdom of heaven.

While other leaders talk of “family values,” Rev. Moon creates them. Rev. Moon have done more for the cause of inter-faith dialogue than any religion or government.


The Unification Church, the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification was founded by Sun Myung Moon in 1954 in Korea. Moon's church attracted attention in the U.S. when he began establishing churches in the San Francisco Bay Area, including Berkeley. Just 40 years later wee see how great, positive impact they had on our American society.

Members of the religious organization came to be called "Moonies" and were proud of it. They followed Moon's beliefs known as the Divine Principle. It offered revolutionary solutions to historic theological problems dividing Christianity for centuries. Moon's teachings proved to be bringing the most powerful revolution of heart and conscience that no one was able to spark before.

In contrast to the free sex culture, Dr. Moon was marrying members in mass marriages. In a wounded world, racked with divorce and distrust, they devoted to move towards the establishment of culture of God centered healing marriages.

As the Professor of Religion, Cromwell Crawford wrote, "While other leaders talk of “family values,” Rev. Moon creates them... As a scholar in the field of Comparative Religion, I find it safe to say that there are few, if any, who have done more for the cause of inter-faith dialogue than Rev. Moon. "

Isn't it admirable that followers of Rev. Moon believe, each and every child should be loved by true and loving parents; that every home should be filled with peace, love and harmony. But beyond that, they believe the world should also become "One United Family" under God as our Parent. They believe that for True Love there is no barriers; religious, national, racial or cultural. Love can resolve all human problems and this love should start through Revolution of Heart and Love within the family.

It is only natural that according to the organization, "Reverend and Mrs. Moon have succeeded in becoming the first True Parents, having established a God-centered family and lineage."

"Who can comprehend the sorrowful, painful heart of God?", asks Rev. Moon. "From the Fall God lost His lineage, lost His children, and was forced to hand over the ownership of the nations and world to Satan." History was dominated by selfishness, free sex and distrust that didn't live space for God's presence in our relationships.

According to Sun Myung Moon the wedding ceremony should "alleviate God’s grief caused by the fall of Adam and Eve". When couples of enemy nations, enemy races and enemy religions join in love, history of resentment and pain will be resolved once and forever. The future generations will not carry the barriers from the past in their hearts.

The Unification Church quickly came under fire for its anti-communist work. The founder of the Unification Church, Dr. Sun Myung Moon is known for his key role in the fall of Communism. "If Rev. Moon had not established the Washington Times in 1982, many more problems would have occurred in the Western world", testifies Mr. Oyamada.

With the publication of the Washington Times a new confrontation began in the United States. All the criminal and violent activities of the communists which had been covered up by the liberal press began to be investigated and exposed. Thus, Moon's paper, the Washington Times, played the key role in ending Communism.

Christianity however was confused, disunited and quickly coming under the manipulations of the atheistic communist agendas. Communist countries were even allowed by the west to infiltrate the United Nations. The World Council of Churches became an instrument of the communist propaganda. Rev. Moon was in fact the only hope for saving this confused world.

As could be well expected, the church of Rev. Moon came soon under vicious attacks. The "Moonies" were so falsely accused and bombarded by manipulated negativity, that hundreds of former members were actually put under high-pressure brainwashing by the so called "Anti-cult" fanatics. Of course majority did not succumb to this pressure, so "Anti-cult" activists used drugs and torture. They kept members under long confinement in the desperate attempt to brainwash them against the church. But only in few cases they succeeded and surely their evil will not stay unpunished. Once this was discovered court decision stopped their evil practices.

Anti-Cult fanatics spread the accusations of "sect's secret teachings", "members' brainwashing". The truth was that they used brainwashing techniques to create ex-Moonies. Their evil purpose was to spread the argument that the Unification Church is, in fact, a cult group. The Unification Church at the same time was investing all its energy to save the world from the growing Communist threat.

If one has sincere heart and wants to know the true facts, next time you see the billboards set up at the entrance to campus advertised seminars and evening programs by members of the Family Federation, stop and hear them. "We create community networks of couples committed to each other," a flyer read. "The Family Federation calls all couples to rededicate their marriage in the love of God."
