THE FOUR POSITION FOUNDATION


God’s will towards human Beings is to fulfill the purpose of creation and realize the ideal of creation. The realization of the ideal creation does not end merely by men and women getting married and uniting through Love. After this, they must experience having sons and daughters, because heaven and earth are formed from a principle wherein everything is linked in relationships of high and low and front and back. If there is yesterday, there is today; if there is today, there is a tomorrow, everything comes to have a meaning. If husband and wife are the higher position, then there must be children in the lower position. If there is no lower, there is no meaning. The principle of Heaven and Earth includes the relationship of high and low and left and right; husband and wife make up the left and right.
 
Therefore, parents think that they have fulfilled their responsibility when all their sons and daughters have married. When a husband and wife become parents and when their children get married, the higher and lower relationship is realized for the first time. Only when this higher and lower relationship is realized is the ideal manifested. A husband and wife in a left and right relationship become united, but it is only when they become parents with children, forming an upper and lower relationship, that the horizontal and the vertical are linked and they can realize the universal, ideal spherical world. Furthermore, when brothers and sisters become linked to this, at last a sphere is realized. In order to complete the realization of the ideal, we must be able to form a circle in which the vertical and the horizontal are linked. When a man and a woman each come to feel this double realm of the realized ideal, they are able to live the ideal. What does this mean? This is what the Unification Church calls the Four Position Foundation. Therefore we can say that to complete the ideal of creation means to complete the Four Position Foundation.   
A person should not be concerned with himself. Starting from “myself”, a person must pass through three stages. These three stages are: myself, reciprocal partner, and child. The relationship of myself, reciprocal partner, and child, centering on God, is the Four Position Foundation. Completion of this Four Position Foundation is God’s purpose of creation.
