Claim. Becoming an owner of Cheon Il Guk requires substantively fulfilling four ascending roles — filial child in the family, patriot in the nation, saint in the world, and divine son or daughter in heaven and earth — not merely declaring loyalty to the nation.
Elaboration. SMM ties ownership to substantial role-completion: “Unless you have fulfilled the way of true children of filial piety in front of God, of patriots in the nation, of saints in the world, and of divine sons and daughters in heaven and earth … you cannot become citizens of Cheon Il Guk” (1.1. The owner of Cheon Il Guk, 396-157 2002.11.5). Whole-family completion is required, not individual: “You should become sons of filial piety, daughters-in-law of filial piety, then saints of filial piety. … Your whole family must become children of filial piety, not just you as individuals. Then become families of patriots who are filial, families of saints who are filial, and families of divine sons and daughters who are filial” (ibid, 2003.3.12). The four roles are sequential — each role’s completion qualifies the family for the next — and culminate in “princes and princesses who can inherit the kingship of heaven from the individual level up to the level of the cosmos” (ibid).
