Claim. SMM frames the term “human portion of responsibility” not as his invention but as his discovery — an eternal law that existed from the beginning of time and that resolves the historical problem of why history has been one of war and contradiction.
Elaboration. SMM situates the discovery as universe-scaled in import: “What the Unification Church is today revealing — that human beings have a portion of responsibility — is a discovery of universal proportions. The invention of the atomic bomb or Einstein’s Theory of Relativity cannot be compared with this discovery” (CSG 8.1 §4, 124-303, 1983.3.1). He insists on its prior reality: “Who in the Unification Church created the term ‘the human portion of responsibility’? I discovered it. I did not make it up. God created it… It has existed from the beginning of time. This law is an eternal law” (ibid, 149-318, 1986.12.21). The claim links the discovery to historical resolution: “Because we do not understand restoration through indemnity we cannot resolve human history… Without going through the True Parents, the Kingdom of Heaven cannot emerge” (ibid, 148-212, 1986.10.9).
