The Family, The Divine Structure

(The Four-Position Foundation)

The four position is the fundamental foundation for the life of all beings, providing the forces necessary for their existence and enabling God to abide in them. It is the foundation of goodness through which the eternal purpose of God’s creation is accomplished. God’s heart and will of goodness are the center.

The four position is also the basis of the frequent use of the numbers three, four, seven and twelve in the Bible.

Parents and siblings in a family are like the colorful varieties of lovely flowers in a garden. The family should be a place where each member can be joyful, singing and dancing. When the members of a family hear the melody of love, they can grow wonderfully.

The universe is an expansion of the family. A family has a top, middle and bottom, left and right. The four-position foundation represents the four directions, north, south, east and west.

The principle of the four-position foundation accords with the law of heavenly fortune. The universe turns based on the four-position foundation.

What happens when the four-position foundation is accomplished? Heaven and earth finally settle into their proper positions. Heaven is like an upper axis and the earth is like a lower axis. With God’s love at the center, they form one realm. At the point of intersection, children are born with a connection to both dimensions, which develop in harmony as they grow, progressing toward a central axis. The four-position foundation revolves around the center and forms the ideal sphere of love.                                                                                                    - SMM

About the painting:  I painted this family in a beautiful and peaceful garden. Each part of this family is positioned in one direction – East, West, South – all of them receiving the light and love of God. They are contributing to the growth of this garden, but more importantly contributing to the growth of this family. This four-position foundation expands to the community, world and cosmos. In each direction are villages from the North, East, South and West.
