Sunday's spirit-filled service

Greetings!   

 Before I discuss the above-mentioned revelation, I'd like to draw your attention to Sunday's spirit-filled service in which Hyung Jin Nim discussed the meaning of Christmas. Even though December 25 was not the real birthday of Jesus, which scholars believe took place in early Spring, the early Christians did worship on that day.

            All of us have sinned. All of us need to change our blood lineage through Christ. Despite common portrayals of Jesus as soft and feminized, he came to challenge the false, satanic power structures using force when he needed to. After all, did he not whip the 20 money changers and chase them out of the temple?

            Father also eschewed the palace in favor of the Amazonian jungle or the wide, open ocean, living constantly in the "midbar" of nature where you are not in control. He was constantly making effort to break up monopolies and hierarchies in the Unification Movement.

The ASTONISHING Revelation of Mrs. Gil Ja Sa Eu

As many of you know, Mrs. Gil Ja Sa Eu has been touring the country as Family Federation's representative to persuade members to continue to support Mother's leadership and her "wonderful, perfect power." In her talks around the country she has stated her support for Mother changing whatever she wants to in the Cheon Syeong Gyeong since she and Father are "equal." I see a problem with having two "equal" subjects, rather than "subject-object," but that is a discussion for another day.

            What I found most interesting in her talk was the way she described Father's and Mother's attitudes towards Hyung Jin Nim. Here is a two minute and twenty second selection from her talk in Minneapolis on December 9, 2015. The first 72 seconds are Mrs. Eu's words in Japanese. The rest is the English translation.

Mrs. Eu re Hyung Jin Nim- Minneapolis, 12-9-2015

In this segment Mrs. Eu describes how Father was supporting Hyung Jin Nim's actions as the leader of the Korean Church, but Mother was listening to the criticism of his "Buddhist" practices. Father believed in him, but Mother did not.Mrs. Eu says, "Father embraced Hyung Jin Nim, but Mother was different. Mother said, 'No.' "

        I have confirmed with brothers and sisters in other states that Mrs. Eu made the same statement about Mother not agreeing with Father's view of Hyung Jin Nim.

        If you think about it, this is incredibly revealing. Mother's rejection of Hyung Jin Nim was evident to Mrs. Eu and others long before Mother fired him, after Father's Seonghwa, from his positions as Korean church president and other responsibilities. Her disapproval of her youngest son was taking place AT THE VERY SAME TIME that Father insisted that Hyung Jin Nim along with his wife be crowned as True Parents' heirs and successors in 2008 and 2009, with a written proclamation that anyone opposing this appointment was a "heretic and destroyer" in 2010, and further statements by Father reaffirming this selection in 2011 and 2012.  

        We all know that within weeks of Father's passing, Mother fired Hyung Jin Nim from all of his positions in Korea, but her opposition started long before.To put it simply, according to Mrs. Eu, Mother was NOT united with Father's selection of Hyung Jin Nim as his heir and successor going back MANY YEARS.

       I know of a Korean sister who was serving in the Hannam-dong residence of True Parents in Seoul who was in tears when she saw portraits of True Parents being taken down after Father's Seonghwa and replaced with solo portraits of Mother by herself.

        Theologians tell us we must believe that True Parents are absolutely "one." What happens when there is clear testimony from a respected elder who attended True Parents from the earliest days and who was married to the church president, that this was not the case? What do you do when the facts conflict with your deepest hopes and beliefs? Do you close your lying eyes and ears or OPEN them and deal with the painful truth? 

Praise Service at Unification Sanctuary HQ

   In Sunday's spirit-filled service Hyung Jin Nim called for a celebration of the victory of the Ancestor Liberation and Blessing event held on December 6, as he explained Father always did after a providential victory. No longer would Japanese brothers and sisters be exploited in a racially discriminatory way by being charged $180,000 to liberate 210 generations of their ancestors, ten times more than brothers and sisters in other countries. 

Hyung Jin Nim called upon brothers and sister to cast out fear and worry of any kind through praise and worship. Even though we may fighting battles of all kinds, we can feel the joy of God. 

      After Father's passing and their realization about the totalitarian intent of CheongPyeong, Hyung Jin Nim and Yeonah Nim listed to Gospel and Praise music for several hours with tears and praise for God and Father's life.  

      Hyung Jin Nim used to love to go into leaders' meetings and lay his head on Father's stomach, breaking all the rules of etiquette. This freed Father to give more love. After the challenging victory of the Ancestor Liberation he had a dream of skipping through the woods with Father. 

Sanctuary Praise Service 12_13_2015

      We become what we worship. If we worship knowledge, we will become focused on knowing things. If we worship God, we become more like Him. We can become less dependent on feelings or worry about what others are thinking of us, hearing only the voice of our Creator and what He says about us, rebuking the other voices that seek to control us. 

Rhroric vs. Reality

Many brothers and sisters have told me that Hyung Jin Nim is violating what they think should be his highest priority, which is unity with Mother, and within the True Family and the Unification community. This has led me to reflect on the question, "what is Father's idea of unity?"
We all know how often Father spoke about the importance of the
unification of North and South Korea. I recently heard an account of Father's meeting 14 years ago, in December 1991, with Kim Il Sung, the North Korean "absolute leader" who had imprisoned Father in the Hungnam death camp for nearly 3 years (1948-1950).
According to this testimony, Father stayed up all night before the meeting, agonizing about what God required him to do the next day. The first meeting was with high North Korean government officials. Father did not take too long with initial greetings and pleasantries. He suddenly began to tell them that if North Korea did not abandon its godless "juche" ideology and acknowledge the reality and authority of the living God, Kim Il Sung and his Communist regime would be judged and destroyed. I'm told that several church leaders at the meeting were so scared about what would happen to all of them that some of them lost control of their bodily fluids, requiring a change of their underwear.
However, when Father did meet with Kim Il Sung, the man who had imprisoned him and caused the deaths of millions, they warmly embraced. Soon thereafter several joint projects were launched between the Unification Movement and the North Korean government. My friend believes that the bloodthirsty dictator Kim Il Sung's direct experience with the living Christ and the spirit of God that day profoundly moved him.
What can we learn from this? Father's understanding of the path to unity has nothing to do with humanistic strategies in which people say pleasing things they think their opponent wants to hear. His first concern was to tell the truth. On this foundation of absolute faith, love, and obedience, God was able to work and to bring about a unity which is truly centered on Him.
Hyung Jin Nim also speaks strongly. What else would you expect from a son of True Father who feels a deep obligation to protect his Father's words and legacy from a profound violation?
Some long-standing friends of mine, whom I have known for decades, have cut off all contact with me and other brothers and sisters who support Hyung Jin Nim. They have apparently been directed by the Family Federation to do so. One sister whose husband believes that Hyung Jin Nim is doing God's will recently gave him divorce papers. In Korea and Japan members have been kicked out of the Family Federation for attending Sanctuary events or showing insufficient enthusiasm for Mother's "innovations." In Japan, where liberating the required 210 generations of ancestors through Cheongpyeong cost more than $180,000, they have now been directed by Mother to liberate another 210 generations.
Such hardball tactics belie the Family Federation's veneer of "benevolence," but they are backfiring. Last Sunday Hyung Jin Nim exercised his authority as the anointed heir and successor of True Parents to liberate 210 generations of ancestors of 1,000 families from Korea, Japan, America, and many other countries around the world. Brothers and sisters donated whatever they felt led to give, not an onerous "tax" that has led some families to bankruptcy and even suicide.
Even if you disagree with what you think Hyung Jin Nim is saying, I would urge you to take a deeper look, beyond the harsh words that may shock you. As with the example of Father's declaration in Pyeongyang, God's words are not always sweet, and words that are sweet are not always from God.

Je Ju Do FFWPU Leaders' New DP

Here is the much-discussed diagram from a Je Ju Do leaders workshop that took place earlier this year with the Japanese words replaced with English. Whether you think this is describing the process of the Fall or the results of the Fall, I think the MOST interesting new term that I’ve never heard in any Divine Principle workshop is “God’s Adulterous Husband.” Why is this new term being used? Does it not reflect the Family Federation’s view that Father had unprincipled relationships with other women, that Father could not control himself and that it was Mother who saved him? Isn’t that why Eve is shown OUTSIDE the circle of Satan’s influence? And doesn’t this align with Mother’s view that she was born as the sinless Only Begotten Daughter?

I think that all Unificationists need to make a crucial decision at this time in our lives. We have heard about the women that Father had relations with, often referred to as the “6 Marys.” I believe we each have to decide whether we believe that Father had those relationships out of uncontrolled, fallen sexual desire or out of a principled motivation.

Some of you know that my wife, Miho, lived at East Garden for 10 years, serving Father and Mother directly, at all times of the day or night. Miho has told me several times that she NEVER saw or felt anything unprincipled coming from Father, that in fact Father was the most holy person. She could even hear him praying in his sleep. I am posting her testimony below for your reference.

But you decide—was Father the Second Coming of Christ, the True Adam who restored an Eve from a fallen lineage, making the way for all of humanity to be restored? Or was he a hypocrite who spoke about Absolute Sex, but could not control his own sexual desire? That is the dividing line.

Autumn Memories at East Garden

by Miho Panzer
Almost all of the leaves are gone. The mornings and evenings are getting cold. The autumn season is ending soon. I am missing True Father a lot.
I spent ten years at East Garden serving True Parents. In the afternoons Father used to come down from his room. On the first floor by the entrance there was a fireplace. I used to wrap sweet potatoes in aluminum foil and put them into the fire for an hour. Then I would take them, still very hot, with steam coming out, and offer two or three to Father. He would peel off the aluminum foil and then the skin. Blowing on a sweet potato to cool it off, he would start to slowly eat it. I could see he was remembering when he used to eat "koguma" cooked on hot stones as a snack when he was a boy.
Father was very sensitive. If the sisters who were cooking food for him were angry or fighting with each other, even if there were many delicious dishes on the table, he would refuse to touch any of them, asking instead for instant "Noguri" ramen.
Father would never go to bed earlier than midnight and then sleep no more than three hours. Even then, I saw many times that he was praying in his sleep. Often, early in the morning, he would go to holy ground to pray, even if it was bitter cold.
He liked to play a game of pool during the day, sometimes for many hours. I would offer him a chair, but he always refused to sit down. By the end of the afternoon, his legs would be thick and swollen. Even playing a billiards game, he was setting a condition, thinking of front-line brothers and sisters who could not sit down or relax.
One time I was struggling in my life of faith, even thinking to end my life. I packed my bags and without telling anyone was walking to the East Garden entrance, planning to go to a lonely spot to carry out my plan, but somehow Father knew what was going on in my heart and called the security guards saying that he was looking for me and telling them to stop me at the entrance if I was trying to leave. I can say that Father saved my life that day.
Father's life was full of prayer, day and night. He was the most holy person I have ever met. I miss him every day, but I know he is watching and working hard at our side with us, even now.

Seeking One Addam

The last six millennia have been a history of seeking and re-creating one Adam. Eve cannot be created without Adam. This is why God is creating one man, Adam. This is why you must follow me. The blood and flesh of countless people who came and went on the road of the providence of restoration had to be used as material for this purpose. The resentment of zillions of spirit people must be consolidated here. Then on the day of the advent of the incarnation of Adam, the martyrs who shed their blood and died under extreme persecution will feel their value for the first time.
