How it all started
In the day when God created man, He

made him in the likeness of God. He created them male and female, and He blessed them. Genesis 5:1-2
And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it. Genesis 1:28

Слайд 11

Why do we need God’s blessing and what does it mean?

Слайд 12

What is our existential reality?
What does it mean to be a

human being?
We have a mind and body
We exist in relationships with other people
We live in the physical world

Слайд 13

As embodied beings what are our basic desires and goals in

life?

Grow up and become an adult
Marry, have a family and friends
Creative life and be prosperous

Слайд 14

So what about desire?
Desire, which people often consider sinful, is actually

God-given. EDP. 71

Desire, which people often consider sinful, is actually

Слайд 17

So what about desire?
Desire, which people often consider sinful, is actually

God-given. Joy is the purpose of creation, and joy can only be attained when desire is fulfilled. If we had no desire, we could never experience joy. If we had no desire, we would not have any aspiration to receive God's love, to live, to perform good deeds, or to improve ourselves.
Without desire, therefore, neither God's purpose of creation nor the providence of restoration could be fulfilled. EDP. 71

Слайд 19

What does blessing mean?
ברך- barak – kneel, bless, praise, salute

בֶּרֶך- knee
A blessing from God is an empowerment to be able to do what is not within our natural capabilities

Слайд 20

Without God’s blessing . . .
People struggle to attain mind-body unity
Alcoholism,

laziness, lying, identity crisis
People struggle to achieve good relations
Divorce, conflict, loneliness, ‘bad sex’
People struggle to manage the ‘world’
Finances, tidiness, pollution
People struggle to find meaning in life

Слайд 21

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF LIFE?
Why did God create the universe

and us?

Слайд 22

Why did God create man?
The most essential aspect of God is

heart. Heart is the impulse to love an object and is the fountain and motivator of love. It is the nature of heart to seek an object to love. God, whose essence is heart, feels joy when he can love an object that he created. DP, Level 4
What kind of object? One in his image and likeness – male and female

Слайд 23

“Therefore be imitators of God,
as beloved children.” Ephesians 5:1
How can

we become ‘like God’,?

rewire the brain

Слайд 30

What are the consequences?
We can become good only if our body

obediently follows our mind. All too often our body rebels against the mind’s directions. This is how evil grows within us. For this reason the religious way of life requires that we make the body submit to the commands of the higher mind. EDP, 194

Слайд 31

Why do people engage in such addictive behaviour?
Substitute for real

love
Way to dull the pain of living or trauma
Escape

Слайд 32

And uncontrolled sexual desire . . .
C.S. Lewis:
The real problem with

masturbation is that it takes a desire which fulfilled properly leads the individual out of himself to complete his own personality in that of another, a spouse, and turns it back: sending the man back into the prison of himself, there to keep a harem of imaginary brides.

Слайд 33

And this harem, works against his ever getting out and really uniting with

a real woman. For the harem is always accessible, always subservient, calls for no sacrifice or adjustments, and can be endowed with erotic and psychological attractions which no real woman can rival.
Among these shadowy brides he is always adored, always the perfect lover: no demand is made on his unselfishness, no mortification is ever imposed on his vanity. In the end, they become merely the medium through which he increasingly adores himself.

Слайд 34

This is why Father said . . .
Who owns the

male and female organs? The owner of the husband's sexual organ is his wife, and the owner of the wife's sexual organ is her husband. We did not know that a person's sexual organ is owned by someone of the opposite sex. This is a simple truth, which is undeniable. Typically a man thinks his sexual organ belongs to himself, and a woman thinks her sexual organ is her own. That is why the world is perishing.
Sun Myung Moon, Man Owns Woman and Woman Owns Man, September 15, 1996

Слайд 35

How about pornography?
It is a fantasy
Deception, imitation, fake
Creates emotional bond

with artificial world
Lose ability to bond with real people
Sex without intimacy
Leads to emotional emptiness and disconnection
Unsatisfying
Low self-esteem and loneliness
Unfulfilling
Leads to addiction

Слайд 36

And after marriage . . .
Porn means you can’t get aroused

by “just” your spouse
Porn wrecks your libido
Not interested
Porn makes you sexually lazy
‘My needs’
Porn turns “making love” into a foreign concept
Porn makes sex all about the body, and not about intimacy
Porn makes regular intercourse seem boring
Weirder and weirder

Слайд 37

Porn makes it hard to be tender when you have sex
Porn

gives you a warped view of what attractive is
Not about the whole person
Porn makes sex seem like too much work
Instant gratification
Porn causes selfishness
Leads to abuse

Слайд 38

The blunt truth
In the long run, pornography will not shore up

a shaky ego, will not fill the emptiness left from childhood wounds or abandonment, will not save a shaky relationship or failing marriage and is not satisfying. In fact, it will magnify each emotional wound from the past and cripple your ability to meet your essential emotional needs, damage your ability to have a healthy relationship and leave you unable to sexually or emotionally respond to your partner

Слайд 39

Judging by appearances
"As it now stands, students have powerful images

of what a perfect body is and pursue it incessantly. But deprived of literary guidance, they no longer have any image of a perfect soul, and hence do not long to have one. They do not even imagine that there is such a thing.”
Allan Bloom, The Closing of the American Mind

Слайд 41

Why do we marry?
It is so that we may resemble God’s

image. Because men and women are projections of God’s divine characteristics, their destiny is to form a union as one body and return to oneness with God’s original character.
So the purpose of marriage is to bring into oneness the realm of heart of one man, representing the world of masculinity, and one woman, representing the world of femininity, so that they may perfect the love between a man and a woman. Father, 21.8.2004

It is men that fall in love at first sight
Men initiate, women respond

What is love and beauty?
In the relationship between a man and

Love and respect
The primary emotional needs" for men and women, respectively

are that men need respect and women need love, like they need air to breathe.
Love and Respect

Слайд 54

Why is marriage important?
It is because it is the path by

which we seek true love. It is because it is the path for creating life. It is because it is the path on which the lineage of a man and woman are co-mingled. Father, 21.8.2004

Слайд 59

What is the meaning of sex?
When a husband and wife embrace

each other in true love, it is the equivalent of the universe becoming one body. This is the original image of creation brought into substantial reality in the context of God’s ideal. Father, 21.8.2004

Слайд 60

Women don’t just want sex. They want to feel desired first.

If a woman doesn’t feel desired, then the sex itself may not seem so appealing. Many people already know how important this is, but in my clinic in New York I see so many men who have no clue how important this is for women.

Shame, blame and victimhood

“The woman whom you gave to be with

me,
she gave me the fruit of the tree and I ate.”

“The serpent tricked me, and I ate.”

God: “Where are you?”

“Who told you that you were naked?
“Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”

Adam blamed Eve; Eve blamed Lucifer.
Denial of responsibility; denial of position; loss of freedom

Слайд 67

What happened at the fall?
Eve was traumatized by her relationship with

Lucifer
Sexually, emotionally, psychologically damaged
Sense of worthlessness and being needy
Hurt, vulnerable, wanting to be loved
Adam was damaged by his relationship with Eve

What happened at the fall?
All the relationships of the Four Great

Realms of Heart were corrupted and distorted
Man – woman
Husband – wife
Parents – children
Sibling – sibling
Restoration is putting all these relationships right

Слайд 71

Fallen sexuality
Men have inherited the fallen archangelic nature to want to

control and possess and have sexual relationships with women for their own pleasure and gratification. Lust, not love
Droit du seigneur – ‘lord’s right’
Sexual harassment and worse
Women have inherited the tendency to be seduced by powerful men and to be seductive

People struggle to attain

mind-body unity
Alcoholism, laziness, lying, identity crisis
People struggle to achieve good relations
Divorce, conflict, loneliness, ‘bad sex’
People struggle to manage the ‘world’
Finances, tidiness, pollution

Слайд 73

What is restoration?
Restoration occurs when you find yourself in a similar

position to Adam, Eve, the archangel, Cain or Abel, or one of your ancestors etc.
And you have to face the same temptation to make the same mistake that they did and continue the pattern of fallen history
But you choose not to do so and instead of acting out of your fallen nature you act according to your original nature and follow your conscience. You break the cycle of abuse and pattern of fallen history

Abram, Sarah and Pharaoh
Now there was a famine in the land and

so Abram went down to Egypt to stay there. When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “I know that you are a woman beautiful in appearance, and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me, but they will let you live. Say you are my sister, that it may go well with me because of you, and that my life may be spared for your sake.” When Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful. And when the princes of Pharaoh saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. And for her sake he dealt well with Abram.

Service - Preface
In the presence of God we have come together

to witness the marriage of N and N, to pray for God's blessing on them, to share their joy and to celebrate their love. Marriage is a gift of God in creation through which husband and wife may know the grace of God. It is given that as man and woman grow together in love and trust, they shall be united with one another in heart, body and mind, as Christ is united with his bride, the Church.

Слайд 82

Freely entered into
N, will you take N to be your husband?

Will you love him, comfort him, honour and protect him, and, forsaking all others, be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?

Слайд 83

Vows
I, N , take you, N , to be my wife,

to have and to hold from this day forward; for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part; according to God's holy law. In the presence of God I make this vow.

A pledge of unconditional love

Слайд 84

Exchange of rings
Heavenly Father, by your blessing let these rings be

to N and N a symbol of unending love and faithfulness, to remind them of the vow and covenant which they have made this day through Jesus Christ our Lord.
N, I give you this ring as a sign of our marriage. With my body I worship you, all that I am I give to you, and all that I have I share with you, within the love of God.

Слайд 85

Purpose of marriage
Place for conjugal love, mutual support and comfort
Proper place

For procreation and raising of children

When husband and wife are united in marriage,
they are no longer seen as something earthly,
but as the image of God Himself.
St. John Chrysostom

Father’s words on grafting
At what point can you be totally grafted

into the lineage of heaven? The moment that you receive the Blessing from the True Parents is the great moment when your bonds to your satanic lineage are severed and you become part of the heavenly lineage. Most marriages in the world are not God-centred, but in the Unification Church our greatest pride is that in the name of the True Parents couples can enter into the heavenly, God-centred lineage. At that moment they become direct heirs of God. Through the Blessing the process of the fall can be totally reversed. Father, 18 April 1977

Grafting

Слайд 96

Preparing for engrafting
“In order for the engrafting process to take place,

we have to cut off all the branches of the wild olive tree. On that tree there may be many branches, leaves and buds, but they are all part of the evil root. Let’s say the true olive tree is very young, with very few branches. Even though the wild olive tree has been growing for thousands of years and has 44 billion leaves and buds, the branches of the wild olive tree still have to be cut off.”

cut off.”

“This true olive tree is small, but the important thing is

that the root rests on God. The root of the wild olive tree rests on Satan. You must remember all the time that your original roots from your ancestors are from the satanic side. We were not born of the True Parents but of the fallen lineage, and we are only in the process of being restored. We must not forget that.”

Слайд 100

Blessing not magic
“Can we penetrate all the thousands of years

of customs in the satanic world and bring revolution? When the satanic root persistently remains, the fruit will not be good; you won’t get good fruit even though the engrafting was done. The tree will not develop properly. In other words, perhaps its shape will be the same as the true olive tree, but the olives won’t have any taste. How can God enjoy a poor tasting olive?”

Слайд 101

Importance of spiritual work
“After the engrafting process takes place, how

do we transform the root into a new one? No matter how much effort is made by all 44 billion people in the cosmos, it will not come into fruition. Only by the power of the love of God and the True Parents will that root be transformed.”

The inner process
“At the deepest bottom of yourself is your

original mind. Right below that is the fertile ground of God. Put your original mind into the fertile ground of God. The engrafting process means that you cut off all the branches but leave the root. Then true branches are engrafted onto the old root. Then true branches are brought in, it becomes a new tree; that is the engrafting process. When this process takes place, even though the root is the same, the satanic root will be transformed into a new root.”
Father, 30th Anniversary of the Unification Church' 5.1.1984

Need for healing
"Even after you are grafted into the new tree,

you may not feel much joy. You still feel the pain from the process of grafting. Many think, 'Boy, that's my husband or wife? Is that the ideal?' and your wounds have not been healed yet. But then, after three years of married life, you will see all the new growth that is resulting from your union and you will find a great amount of satisfaction and joy. It takes at least three years together for your wounds to heal and for you to become new men and women. The job of the Messiah is to do the grafting of all the men and women in the world. That is the most important job of the Messiah - changing the roots and lineage of mankind."
