Why Can’t we Feel God?

1. Because of the nature of oneness.①Heart beat, blinking eyes, breathing.

②The smell of one’s own stool on the toilet.

③We don’t feel air pressure

(plastic bottle at 14,000, 9,000 & 1,000 ft.)

2. Because of the Fall.① We lost our spiritual sensitivity.

② Our environment is so immorality.

Peace Message #1

Do you think that when the omniscient and omnipotent God created our first ancestors, He secretly reserved the highest position for Himself and made them to be only second best? We cannot imagine that God would do that to His children, to His partners who share absolute love with Him…

Peace Message #1

… As our eternal True Parent, God invested Himself 100 percent in the creation of human beings and endowed us with the right to equal status with Him, to participate in His work as equals, to live with Him, and to inherit from Him. God bestowed upon human beings all of His attributes.

• Children are complete substantiation of the

parents.

• They are formed belonging to their parents.

• They are formed for their partner (either boy of girl).

• They are formed to live eternally (spiritual world).

• Masculinity is subject we can call God

“Father.”15
