When you see me, you see God - Reflections on God’s Purpose of Creation

God is one being. He has everything within Himself with which to create. Out of His original Sung Sang/Hyung Sang being, He creates. His primary goal of creation is to create His image, a substantial body in whom He can live, and then create an object of love – His wife. Based on that model, God creates an environment (the creation) that reflects the pattern of the original man and woman. God is a being of SS/HS primarily, but also has the secondary characteristics of masculinity and femininity. God created Adam as His image, but created Eve out of Adam as a reflection of God and Adam’s secondary, objective characteristics. Therefore, it can be said that just as God is our Original Invisible True Parents, Adam was meant to be the original visible True Parents. Eve was meant to become one with Adam, and thereby perfect the purpose of creation, which was to establish a perfect relationship of love between the substantial body of God (Adam) and a perfect object, God’s wife (Eve). Since Adam was unable to fulfill the role of the visible True Parents due to the fall, and Jesus could not fulfill it due to his crucifixion, Sun Myung Moon’s position is that of the visible True Parents – the visible manifestation of God. In order to complete the purpose of creation, he must have a perfect object, a woman who can absolutely unite with him in heart and action, centering on true love. This is why True Father often referred to himself as the True Parent or True Parents – because everything is within him, just as everything is within God, the Father. When True Father has a perfect object in the form of True Mother, the fullness of God’s purpose of creation can be seen, God’s lineage can be restored, God can feel joy, and God’s love can be fully manifested in a substantial way for all of eternity. So True Father is not the image of half of God, but the entire image of God. When you see Jesus, or when you see True Father, you are seeing the image of God. This is the Principle. This reality is also contained in the Christian concept of the Trinity. The head of the Trinity is the Father – not the Father and Mother. This is also the Principle. Father taught us that God created Adam as His image in order that He may love a wife. If God the creator was originally both husband and wife, that would negate the motivation and purpose of creation.
