True Father told us that “Everyone is conceived through the grace of God and the love of his or her parents.”
This means that each of us is begotten by the power of three: a man, a woman, and God. From the point of view of God’s lineage, children whose parents are not blessed are misbegotten. Children whose parents are blessed are purely begotten. Either way, we are begotten of God.
“Everyone is conceived through the grace of God. “
True Father once referred to this power to beget as the fruit of the tree of knowledge: “Because of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, God came to appear, True Parents came to appear, false parents came to appear and the Garden of Eden appeared.”
God’s Principle, intended for good, can be subverted for evil. Give and receive action, whether centered on God or Satan, leads to multiplication. Once God birthed Adam and Eve and gave them responsibility, the horse was out of the barn. Adam and Eve centered on Satan, and “God, who is the Internal Adam, had nothing with Adam’s committing sin and planting [the] evil seed.”
Satan expropriated the sperm and ovum. God invested His and Her sperm and ovum in the man and woman, and they succumbed to selfishness. They stole the divine elements and surrendered them to Satan. Therefore, in Father’s words, “the first ancestors began centered on God’s sperm and ovum, but people are born centered on Satan’s sperm and ovum.”
“Eve must also give birth to the Lord at his Second Advent. “
“The sperm set out but have yet to come to rest,” True Father said, “so they have been waiting for thousands of years for the day on which they can find their place.” They find their place via “the relationship of absolute sexual ethics, true love and the True Father.”
At the same time, God’s ovum travels the path of absolute sex, through providential women, to embody in the True Mother: “Until the Lord comes, all wives must give birth to their husbands, and Eve who represents women must also give birth to the Lord at his Second Advent.”
