The Original ImageThe original Image refers to the attributes of God, the

causal being

These attributes consist of form and function

The attributes of God are expressed in various ways by

various religions

Unification Thought examines God’s character and attributes as The Divine Character and

The Divine Image


original image / ontology / being“a theory of resemblance”

• Theory of the Original Image I. Content of the Original ImageII. Structure of the Original ImageIII. Traditional Ontologies and Unification Thought

• Ontology: A Theory of Being I. Individual Truth Being II Connected Being

• Theory of the Original Human Nature I. A Being With Divine Image II. A Being with Divine Character III. A Being with Position IV.Conclusion

Divine image = Sung Sang Hyungsang / ‘One’(spirit-matter)

Fundamental existence /relatedness = individual /connected body

Divine image / Logos = individuality character heart creativity
