From Harmony to Eternity

(The give-and-receive action between subject and object)

How did the universe begin? When we look at God who created everything based on the ideal of reciprocal relationships, we can see that the universe began with the principle of living for the sake of others. Both subject and object partners invest everything of themselves, and they gain love.

True love does not diminish with investment; it grows bigger. Movement in itself consumes energy whereas true love grows stronger, the more you invest.

The give-and-take action is initiated by the Universal Prime Force which is vertical and causal.

The interaction between any subject and object partner demonstrates real and smooth harmony and has to be circular. All existing beings need this realm of the ideal. Because they try to interact and create a relationship, they naturally become rounded.

The central axis of the heavenly kingdom and of the universe is love. Motion cannot occur haphazardly. It takes place only between subject and object partners, so everything moves in its position after forming a love relationship. Only when you try to go beyond yourself, embracing something greater, will universal power protect you. This is the relationship between subject and object. If all subject and object partners are completely united in eternal love, the universe is responsible to protect them eternally.

Because God created with the concept of love, He created the universe so that all beings need to have an object partner of love. That is why nothing in our environment exists without a partner. Subject-object partnerships connect with a larger realm. If one side takes a certain stance, the other side will take a supporting role. This is how the universe avoids conflict and maintains peaceful interaction and harmonious movement.

From where does the supreme love come? It comes from perfect unity between subject and object partners. When no force can separate the two eternally, that is the time when the supreme love appears. Because of love, all life is connected.                                                                                                                                       - SMM

About the painting:  At the center of this painting is a lotus flower. In it are representations of give-and-take actions. The lotus flower is a symbol of purity, enlightenment and self-regeneration which should occur in all relationships that we form.  Also, I included several images of spirals, as they represent motion, progress and continuous development of the human being, physically and spiritually. All of this should come as a result of good give-and-receive interactions.
