DP Exposition of the Divine Principle 1996 Translation Section 2 Universal Prime Energy, Give and Take Action, and the Four Position Foundation

Give and Receive Action

Through the agency of universal prime energy, the subject and object elements of every entity form a common base and enter into interaction.

This interaction, in turn, generates all the forces the entity needs for existence, multiplication and action.

DP Exposition of the Divine Principle 1996 Translation Section 2 Universal Prime Energy, Give and Take Action, and the Four Position Foundation

Give and Receive Action

The interaction generating these forces through this process is called give and receive action.

Universal prime energy and the forces generated by give and receive action are in a reciprocal relationship of cause and result, internal and external, and subject partner and object partner.

Universal prime energy is a vertical force, while the forces generated by give and receive action are horizontal forces.

A. Introduction

The fundamental law of the universe is the law of karma, which works on the physical, emotional, and mental planes of life and must be worked out or returned on the plane they were sown.

A. Introduction

This law is, in some measure, expressed in physics as: “For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction” (Newtons 3rd Law)

and philosophically: every action, word, emotion, and thought produces, in time, a reaction of like quality.

Karma – a Sanskrit word meaning deed or action – is also known as the law of consequences or compensation.

Applied to the moral sphere, it means: If we do good, good is returned; if we do evil, evil is returned

B. What Does the Bible Say about the Law of Karma?

“Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed” (Gen. 9:6).

“Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again your sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.”

“Those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same” (Job 4:8). See also Hosea 10:12-13.

Because “The eyes of the Lord are in every place” (Proverbs 15:3),

“He who conceals his transgression will not prosper” (Proverbs 28:13).

B. What Does the Bible Say about the Law of Karma?

“Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days” (Ecclesiastes 11:1).

“If a thief steals money or goods, he/she pays double” (Exodus 22:7)

“For all who take the sword will perish by the sword” (Matt. 26:52; Rev. 13:10).

B. What Does the Bible Say about the Law of Karma?

The golden rule, which is in harmony with the law of sowing and reaping, is expressed in Matt. 7:12: “Whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them”, or as it is usually worded,

“Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.”

C. Practical Considerations of the Law of Karma

Paul said in Acts 20:35, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” It has also been said, “ The gift you give to others is the gift you give to yourself.” “For that ye give, that alone you have – that ye lose ye never had.” For what you give away to others: your love, time, money (accumulated energy), labor, knowledge, power, etc., is what is really your own. Only when water was poured for others, became it wine (John 2:8-9)

Exposition of the Divine Principle 1996 Translation CHAPTER 2 FALL OF MAN

The Root of Sin

The root of sin was not that the first human ancestors ate a fruit, but rather that they had an illicit sexual relationship with an angel (symbolized by a serpent).

Consequently, they could not multiply God’s good lineage but instead multiplied Satan’s evil lineage.

The original sin has been perpetuated through lineal descent from one generation to the next, sexual relationship that binds one in ties of blood.

Exposition of the Divine Principle 1996 Translation CHAPTER 2 FALL OF MAN

The Spiritual Fall

Lucifer, who left his proper position due to his excessive desire, and Eve, who wanted to open her eyes and become like God before the time was ripe, formed a common base and began give and take action. The power of the unprincipled love generated by their give and take led them to consummate an illicit sexual relationship on the spiritual plane.

Exposition of the Divine Principle 1996 Translation CHAPTER 2 FALL OF MAN

The Physical Fall

Once Eve had united with the Archangel through their illicit sexual relationship, she stood in the position of the Archangel with respect to Adam.

Seeing Adam as her only hope of returning to God, Eve turned to Adam and tempted him, playing the same role as the Archangel had played when he had tempted her. Adam responded and formed a common base with Eve, and they began give and receive action with each other. (illicit sexual love)

Exposition of the Divine Principle 1996 Translation Part II The Principle of Restoration through Indemnity

How does God separate Satan from fallen people who stand in the midway position? Satan relates with them on the basis of his connection with them through lineage. Therefore, until people make a condition through which God can claim them as His own, there is no way God can restore them to the heavenly side.

Exposition of the Divine Principle 1996 Translation Part II The Principle of Restoration through Indemnity

On the other hand, Satan acknowledges that God is the Creator of human beings. Unless Satan finds some condition through which he can attack a fallen person, he also cannot arbitrarily claim him for his side. Therefore, a fallen person will go to God’s side if he makes good conditions and to Satan’s side if he makes evil conditions.

The providence of restoration through indemnity is the path that returns to the original ideal.

The Unification Church is doing things opposite to what was done in the past. Judaism, the nation of Israel and Rome came together to strike Jesus, but the Unification Church is doing the opposite thing.

Today, based on the foundation of the realm of victory gained in America, put pressure on the Korean government and Christianity.

Thus, the Unification Church has restored through indemnity the situation of Jesus who was killed by the combined opposition of Israel, Judaism and Rome.

• The repetition of actions is habit and habit becomes his character. Buddhism In Buddhism, this process is called karma. ‘Karma is volition,’ says the Buddha. In its ultimate sense, karma means both good and bad, mental action or volition..

Other Sources

• Thus karma is not an entity but a process, action, energy and force. Some interpret this force as “action-influence.” It is our own doings reacting on ourselves. The pain and happiness man experiences are the results of his own deeds, words and thoughts reacting on themselves. Our deeds, words and thoughts produce our prosperity, failure, happiness and misery.

• Karma is an impersonal, natural law operating in its own field without the intervention of external, independent ruling agencies.

• This simply means that karma is not complete determinism. The Buddha pointed out that if everything were determined, then there would be no free will and no moral or spiritual life. We would merely be the slaves of our past and that which has already been decided. There would be no cultivation of moral and spiritual growth.

When the mind delights in evil “Evil” in the Dhammapada text. It is as important to know how to deal with evil as to cultivate the good, as Buddha reveals to us. First he is going to speak of laxity as personal evil, as the path downward away from the light.

“Be urgent in good; hold your thoughts off evil. When one is slack in doing good the mind delights in evil” (Dhammapada 116). Narada Thera: “Make haste in doing good; check your mind from evil; for the mind of him who is slow in doing meritorious actions delights in evil.”

• When wrongdoers are seen to be thriving or content, many feel that the law of cause and effect is not operative in their lives, but Buddha is explaining that at the moment they are reaping the effects of past good karma, but in time they will reap the evil, as well.

By observing a person’s present life we certainly can see what kind of karma they created some time previously, and can know what kind will be coming to them later on.

DP: In the course of the providence of restoration, a false representation of the ideal appears before the emergence of its true manifestation. The Biblical Prophecy that the antichrist will appear before the return of Christ is an illustration of this truth.

• In Karma-Yoga we have simply to do with the word Karma as meaning work.

• The goal of mankind is knowledge.

That is the one ideal placed before us by Eastern philosophy. Pleasure is not the goal of man, but knowledge. Pleasure and happiness come to an end. It is a mistake to suppose that pleasure is the goal.

Other Sources

The cause of all the miseries we have in the world is that man foolishly think pleasure to be the ideal to strive for.

After a time man finds that it is not happiness, but knowledge, towards which he is going, and that both pleasure and pain are great teachers, and that he learns as much from evil as from good. Source: http://www.ramakrishnavivekananda.info/vivekananda/volume_1/karma-yoga/karma-yoga_contents.htm

Other Sources

The word Karma is derived from the Sanskrit Kri, to do; all action is Karma.

As pleasure and pain pass before his soul they have upon it different pictures, and the result of these combined impressions is what is called man’s “character”.

All knowledge, therefore, secular or spiritual, is in the human mind. In many cases it is not discovered, but remains covered, and when the covering is being slowly taken off, we say, “We are learning,” and the advance of knowledge is made by the advance of this process of uncovering.

The ideal man is he who, in the midst of the greatest silence and solitude, finds the most intense activity, and in the midst of the intense activity finds the silence and solitude of the desert.

He has learnt the secret of restraint, he has controlled himself.

Other Sources

That is the ideal of Karma-Yoga, and if you have attained to that you have really learnt the secret of work.

All this is determined by Karma, work. No one can get anything unless he earns it. This is an eternal law.

The Emotion Code Other Sources Dr. Bradley Nelson

Emotionally-charged events from your past can still be haunting you in the form of “trapped emotions”; emotional energies that literally inhabit your body.

Dr. Nelson explains clearly and concisely how trapped emotions can create pain, malfunction and eventual disease. In addition, trapped emotions can exert a dramatic effect on how you think, the choices that you make, and how successful you will be.

Perhaps the most important discovery that Dr. Nelson has made is that trapped emotional energies will often gather around the heart, creating a “Heart-Wall” that may block you from giving and receiving love freely.

Family Constellation Therapy Other Sources

Family Constellations is an alternative therapeutic method which draws on elements of family systems therapy, existential phenomenology and Zulu attitudes to family. In a single session, a Family Constellation supposedly attempts to reveal a previously unrecognized systemic dynamic that spans multiple generations in a given family and to resolve the deleterious effects of that dynamic by encouraging the subject to accept the factual reality of the past.
