Claim. God carries an unresolved bitter sorrow because no son could be found whom He could acknowledge as victorious; the True Parents’ mission is to liberate God from that confinement of han.
Elaboration. SMM names God’s sorrow with unusual directness: “What is the source of God’s bitter sorrow? It lies in the fact that, though He has shed tears for His people and the earth, He had no occasion to hold on to and shed tears of joy over His victorious son, the son for whom He always yearned. God’s anguish and sorrow stemmed from not having anyone whom He could acknowledge as His victorious son” (CSG 15.3 §3, 4-290, 1958.9.14). The liberation mechanism: “On God’s Day, God wants humanity to fulfill the perfection of His true love. To do this, humankind needs to stand in the position of the perfected object before the perfected Subject. The True Parents stand in this position. God needs to be liberated by true love. Through whom is this to be achieved? It is through the True Parents” (275-333, 1996.1.1). The atomic doctrine here is unfamiliar in classical theism: God is in some sense imprisoned and awaits release from His own creatures.
