In the previous article, we’d touched on the Universal Prime Force. In the Exposition of the Divine Principle textbook, the topics that follow are the Three Objects Purpose and the Four Position Foundation, and then the section closes. The next major section addresses the Purpose of Creation. But for this article, I’d like to take […]
In the last article, I had explained that the Universal Prime Force is endowed to the universe by God and it allows the universe and everything and everyone in it to exist, to act, and to multiply. (To avoid confusion, I must mention that in Unification Thought, the translation from Korean is written as Universal Prime Force, […]
Unification Thought is a philosophical expression of the teachings of Rev. Sun Myung Moon. Those teachings were first published in English as the “Divine Principle”, but that book is very theological in nature. It contains numerous remarkable insights on the Bible which, when strung together, provide a profound understanding of God, humans, and the universe. […]
This article is the last in a series of three, on the concept of the “three great subjects”. In the Appendix of the textbook New Essentials of Unification Thought, the notion of three great subjects is described in this way: “The three great subjects thought is an expression coined by Rev. Sun Myung Moon. The […]

Up until now, my articles on Unification Thought have drawn largely on the chapter “The Theory of Ethics” from the textbook New Essentials of Unification Thought. But the textbook has an Appendix which contains related and very practical ideas which I consider very closely related to the Theory of Ethics. One of these important ideas […]

In the preceding article, I had introduced the concept of the “Way of Heaven” and that — for Unification Thought — it is exemplified in natural law, specifically in the observable vertical and horizontal structures in the universe. Although the term “Way of Heaven” originates in Confucianism, and it sets the standard for human behavior, […]
Up until this point, I’ve written mainly about ethics and morality within the family. But I’d like to step back and look at one basic, underlying assumption that’s been implicit in everything I’ve thus far mentioned — and that is the notion of order and position. However, even as I write these words, I’ve a […]
In this sequence of articles on Unification Thought, I’ve been laying out some big ideas about ethical behavior. But as thought-provoking and enlightening as big ideas may be, it’s in the actual day-to-day practice that learning happens. Through practice, a basis for deeper understanding is created.
