Claim. Pledge 5 commits the family to a daily, asymmetric relationship in which the spirit-world is the subject partner and the physical world the object partner — analogous to mind over body — and the goal is their substantial unification.
Elaboration. SMM is precise about the polarity: “The spirit world centered on God is the subject partner. … God is the original subject partner, and True Parents are the subject partner on earth” (5.1. The unification of the spirit world and the physical world as subject and object partners, 292-320 1998.4.27). The mind-body analogy makes the relation operational: “The spirit world is plus just as the mind is plus. The body represents the physical world and the mind the spirit world. Mind is plus and body is minus. Hence, if you act in such a way that you do not recognize the mind and the world of the mind as subject partner, you will have to go to hell” (260-193 1994.5.8). Daily attention is required: “In your daily life until now, you have not had the concept that every day the spirit world is the subject partner. … You should think of it every day. Unless your sphere of daily living has attained, in response to the heavenly nation as the subject partner, its correlative perfected earthly form today, the foundation for perfection in the spirit world will not be formed in the future” (260-305 1994.5.19). Pledge 5 thus orders the believer’s metaphysical attention before behavior.
