Peace Message III — Explanation of the Concept of the Subject in the Four-Position Foundation
A Consideration on the Issue of Error.
1. Citation from Peace Message III.
However,
the spirit self itself
cannot take the lead
and practice a life of True Love.
< Peace Messages, p. 57, lower section, line 10 to mid line 9 >
2. The Principle-Based Understanding of the Above Citation.
The cited passage presents an issue in its conceptual explanation of the dynamic give-and-receive action within the Four-Position Foundation, specifically regarding the statement that one “leads and practices a life of True Love.”
Within any created being,
the subject that leads the practice of action
is the entity occupying the Sungsang (Internal Character) position.
In the individual’s dynamic give-and-take action,
the Four-Position Foundation centers on Purpose,
and through dynamic, developmental give-and-receive action,
it produces a new result that leads and practices a life of True Love.
In this dynamic structure,
the subject position of the Four-Position Foundation
is the being’s Sungsang, namely the spirit self,
and the object position is the being’s Hyungsang, namely the physical body.
Therefore,
the subject that leads and practices a life of True Love
is the spirit self,
which bears the mission of being the subjective agent
that leads and practices a life of True Love.
3. Conclusion.
However,
the cited passage states:
The spirit self itself
cannot take the lead
and practice a life of True Love.
This explanation does not accord with the Principle of Creation.
It should instead be stated:
The spirit self itself
can take the lead
and practice a life of True Love.
Only with this correction
does the explanation become consistent
with the Principle of Creation.
