Short essay on our Roots

We stand at the junction of good vs evil in history, centering on the successful fulfillment of our True Parents’ course. God, our Heavenly Parent, has striven for the arrival and perfection of His children, our True Parents, ever since the beginning of creation, unknown time ago.

Other than to skeptical minds, there is little doubt that providential history which started 6,000 biblical years ago, goes back to many millions, even hundreds of millions of years ago. It was a long process in which God’s creation, starting with the simplest elements, slowly perfected into His children of today, starting with True Parents.

Evidence is growing that we are hybrid genetically engineered beings. Whether we look at it as providential 6,000 years or Darwinian 60,000 years, God’s children are definitely older by several orders of magnitude of time.

Who are we? Let’s start by saying there has been a diaspora of God’s children throughout the Cosmos. There was no unity, very likely because of the Fall which took place at the beginning of the history of God’s children. Beings spread far and wide to fulfill the purposes of living, multiplying, and to the largest extent possible, reaching maturity.

There’s evidence we are living a mirror image of the beings who created us. Indeed, they are influencing us even now as we live our daily lives. We find little peace on this planet; could it be that our predecessors, going back untold years, also had found little peace in their environments among themselves as well as with other races of God’s children. Is this a sign that they also have not reached perfection as defined in the Divine Principle? In terms of Principle, have they reached perfection, have they achieved oneness with our Heavenly Father, our creator? Clearly not! If they had, they would have led a providence mirroring what our True Parents have been leading during their life on earth, and later in the spirit world. They did not. As much as we humans are seeking True Parents, so are they, the thousands of billions around the Cosmos.

My theory is that humans were created to enable us to unite with our Cosmic siblings, as well as them among themselves, in a true loving sense.

The biblical Adam and Eve were not simply the first humans. They were to be True Parents in much the same sense our True Parents today are, and Jesus and his bride were to be, minus the burden of restoration of humans.

Sumerian texts, the Book of Enoch, and possibly others, were histories of what happened to early humans. They didn’t write in the traditional symbolic religious way, but they were telling us about serious events. They weren’t talking about religion but they spoke from a moral perspective. They knew something went wrong. These were the saints and sages of yesteryear, unknown time ago.

The Bible was encoded by saints and sages long ago, people whom Heavenly Father was raising and through whom God was teaching His children. These people understood God’s Heart. It is a question why no one throughout religious history was unable to decode what our True Parents were able to. It seems no one understood God’s Heart, the basis of the Biblical and other Holy text books. Were there stories being prepared long ago for the original True Parents, the biblical Adam and Eve? Father did say anyone could understand the Principle if they so chose.

What is interesting about these stories is that a reader can see that God all along was working in people’s minds and hearts. There was an understanding of a mishap, although no one spoke in those terms, just matter-of-factual events, with an attempt to point at some problem.

This speaks of God working inside minds since the providential beginnings, and before. These were the original saints and sages, predating anyone in the Bible.

There is a sense that in those days there was a preparation for the original True Parents, Adam and Eve, as there later was for Jesus and his bride; and still later, for our True Parents today.

Whether on earth or in the heavens somewhere, there have been signs of callousness among God’s children from the start. History shows us of many wars in space and on earth, including nuclear wars. Had there been a messianic mission among ancient siblings, there would have been a more Abel type of environment. Instead, we saw destruction. I see this as not being different from the environment we saw during the colonization of the world by rich, powerful nations. The fight for dominion continues even today here on earth.

There’s no evidence so far that the cosmos has had a person or couple, throughout history who God sent as messianic figures. I.e., there have not been True Parents.

In this distant planet, far from the center of the cosmos, like the small Korea, distant and insignificant from what had been the center of the providence on earth, God has sent True Parents. True Parents of the Cosmos, is part of their title.

Our struggles on earth are a proxy war. True Parents’ victory ripples way out throughout the cosmos. I seriously doubt we’ll see the end of hostilities any time soon, maybe on earth we’ll see some. I venture to say that on the cosmic level there will still be a lot restoration to be done, and blessings to be given.
