Claim. Through the True Parents, fallen humanity must return to God the right of ownership, the realm of heart, and the realm of substance — the family, nation, and world together, as a unified offering.
Elaboration. SMM lays out the threefold return: “We need to return to God the right of ownership, the realm of heart, and the realm of substance. The family, nation and world together need to be returned to Him. We need to give them back to Him as an offering through the True Parents and clear all our debts. On that basis, the horizontal foundation of the right of ownership of parents, children, and your family and all things is connected through the True Parents” (CSG 15.3 §4, 295-243, 1998.8.28). The implication: “Where that takes place becomes God’s Kingdom on earth.” A parallel formulation: “To return the right of ownership to God, you need to go through the True Parents’ name. There is no other way back” (198-242, 1990.2.3). The “way back” is therefore through a specific name and a specific ceremony — Family Pledge number eight names the goal of perfecting the realm of liberation that the return makes possible.
