Core of the Universe (Audiobook)

The first time True Father used the words “absolute sex” was in 1996 in a speech inaugurating Family Federation for World Peace (FFWP). This speech, “In Search of the Origin of the Universe,” was published in newspapers in every state across America and presented in 185 nations. It was an appeal to world leaders, persuading them to embrace and proclaim a new movement of absolute sex, or sex center...

Imagine you were adopted and didn’t know your biological parents. Even if your adopted parents were loving and awesome, most likely, you’d still wonder where you came from and whether you had any brothers or sisters. You’d want to know who your parents are, and why they left you. Then, one day, you find out where they live, so you go to their house and knock on the door. Perhaps you recognize that...

Have you ever wondered what life will be like in the spiritual world after you ascend? Will you recognize your loved ones? Will you be able to be together with your spouse? What will you do together? What about making love? Certainly, sex in the spiritual realm has got to be out of this world. These were all questions True Father had as a young man. He searched for answers through deep prayer and...

The Odyssey by Homer is a Greek classic partially inspired by the timeless theme of temptation. It is as relevant for us today as it was to the ancient Greeks. Another well-known Greek writer, Aesop, wrote fables, like this one about temptation. One day a bee farmer left a pot of honey on the picnic table outside his house. The sweet-smelling honey attracted a family of flies. The bees that made t...

Within the past century, attitudes about sex have dramatically changed. Many sexual activities that are accepted nowadays were criminal a century ago. Back then, it was scandalous for a woman to show her ankles in public, and people could be arrested for having sex without being married. The largest evidence of this change in attitude is the widely accepted, multibillion-dollar porn industry. Toda...

The sexual revolution took America by storm in the 1960s. Americans, followed by people of other western nations and, eventually, most of the world, gave themselves permission to be “liberated” from all sexual constraints. This was the beginning of the sexualized culture that exists today. Things that were prohibited and avoided became accepted and sought after on a global scale. It promised freed...

When you were growing up, what did your parents teach you about sex? Most of us would have a hard time remembering any conversations with our parents on the topic. Sexuality has been wrapped in shame throughout human history with the consequence that the majority of parents have avoided talking with their children about sex. Parents and children typically feel embarrassed and shy away from the sub...

We watch blockbuster movies about heroes with supernatural powers whose mission is to save the world. When the world is saved from destruction by the end of the film, we feel a sense of hope for the future. Historically, people have believed the Messiah is a superhuman who comes to save the world. At the time of Jesus, the Jewish people thought the Messiah would defeat their enemies and lead them...

All of us, without exception, have found ourselves in the midway position at some time or another where we experience a conflict about which path to follow. Our heart pushes us to do the right thing, but at the same time, we desire that which is immediate and satisfying. Even the apostle Paul, who was the greatest champion of Christian faith, lamented in Romans 7:22-24, “For in my inner being I de...

Have you ever seen a toddler running around naked and laughing after taking a bath? Children are born without shame. God created our sexual organs as the most precious and sacred part of our bodies. He wants us to maintain that innocence as we grow up and eventually marry. The act of lovemaking is meant to be the most beautiful, intimate, and joyful expression of love between husband and wife. How...

If you could be invisible, would you act differently or would you behave the same as you do now? Would you sneak into movie theaters or spy on people? Although invisibility may be impossible, how do we act when no one is watching? And what would it be like to live a life free of shadows with nothing to hide, being proud of everything we do?

Every movement has an inspiring leader who is willing to make any sacrifice, even if it means going to jail or giving up their life for what they believe. Martin Luther King Jr. was a prominent leader of the American Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. When a righteous leader hones in on moral injustice, which threatens our human dignity and passionately inspires others, a movement is created. The...
