Moscow, Russia - A workshop on Unification Thought entitled the ”Dual Characteristics of the Universe and Original Human Nature” took place in Moscow on November 11. In his presentation, UPF-Russia Secretary General Konstantin Krylov raised issues such as the cause and origin of the universe and human beings; the existence of the wise Creator and His plan; and the purpose and meaning of human life.
Unification Thought has much in common with both the religious and philosophical teachings of the East and the West. Using the logical law of cause and effect, Unification Thought affirms that the Universe was created by the wise Creator. Through researching the internal desires of the human heart, one can understand something of the nature and plans of the Creator. By studying natural laws, common to the world of nature, one can comprehend how it is possible for each person to experience inner harmony and for the human community as a whole to be harmonious.
The participants om the workshop eagerly offered their opinions on the topic. Finally, Dr. Volkov A.F., a professor of physics and mathematics, after giving the presentation high marks expressed disagreement with the statement that humankind has reached a high level of development in science. In his opinion, humankind still remains in deep ignorance concerning issues of cognition of the material world, to say nothing of the realm of the human soul and interpersonal relationships.
Such meetings are important opportunities for different people to meet and find common ground.
