Between the Text of Unification Thought (Human Perfection) and
Its Diagram. >
1. Citation from Unification Thought.
• Perfection (完全性)
Perfection refers to the unity of Sungsang and Hyungsang.
In God,
Sungsang and Hyungsang engage in a harmonious give-and- take action
in the relationship of subject and object,
thereby forming a union through harmonized oneness.
This state is called perfection.

• Diagram 5–1. “Resemblance to God and the Three Great Blessings”
〈Perfection〉 Center: Purpose
〈First Blessing〉

2. A Principle-Based Interpretation of the Above Citation.
In the cited text, the explanation states:
“… centering on Shimjeong …”
However, in the corresponding diagram:
Diagram 5–1. “Resemblance to God and the Three Great Blessings”
〈Perfection〉
Center: Purpose
〈First Blessing〉
Thus,
the diagram places Purpose at the center.
3. Conclusion.
As the Principle of Creation explains in detail:
When the Four-Position Foundation is formed with Shimjeong at its center,
the give-and-take action becomes
static and self-identical, and
its result is the formation of harmonized oneness.
However,
when the Four-Position Foundation is formed with Purpose at its center,
the give-and-take action becomes
dynamic and developmental, and
its result is the generation of a new being, an independent being, a developing being.
