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.
