On Dec 17th, I marked 40 years since joining the Unification Church in Alaska. Anyas, my wife, joined today on Dec 19th in Germany.

It's a time for reflection because 40 years is very symbolic in the Church. I started re-reading Father's speeches from 1955 to 2012. His contention is that we are gateways---symbolic representatives to erase the suffering heart of God and Jesus. Well, I can tell you from personal experience that my course has been an extremely difficult one. I went to…

Many Christians have a concept of the spirit world as an instantaneous transition to Heaven. Where does Heaven exist and how come people could get there instantaneously? In truth, Paradise, where The Universal Father and the Infinite Spirit reside lie at the center of the 7 superuniverses that are circling around it in the shape of a giant daisy.

Long before we arrive on Paradise to greet Heavenly Father, we must go through many transition worlds, which are not to far from our Earth,…

When we went out to the world in 1975, we went to further the goals of world unification of religion. I worked for the Madison Square Garden event at which Rev. Moons message was the "The New Future of Christianity". Christianity is based on the gospel of Jesus Christ. Today, we received that gospel as handed down by second hand accounts from early Christians. The teachings were not canonized into a single text until 340 years AD, and it was another 400 years before the book was able to be…

The year is 2013. Father passed on into the spirit world last year. Did he take his dream for world unification with him? So many times he talked to us about how the Kingdom of Heaven was going to come on the earth. But, now he is gone, and the world does not seem to be any better than it was while he was here-------------the same way it was after Jesus walked on the earth. With the church in disarray, I wonder what will happen to the movement now. Will it crumble to dust as have other…

Anyas and I moved to Medford Oregon last April, after being in Alaska for 26 years. We raised 3 children there--Sunji, Tarik, and Sarah.

We opened our 11th retail store, a health food store, in August, in Ashland Oregon. Things have not gone well, as business faltered---creating much anxiety, fear, and even depression. So, we decided to go for broke and add a smoothie and espresso bar to the mix. Last week was our first week of operation on this added element. And so far, sales have…

This site represents the 120 missionaries that Father sent out in 1975. It was such a zealous group; such an inspirational 40 Day Training at Barrytown; so many nights of prayer, accented by many visits from Father.

Many religions have been spread by just such missionary outreach programs--including the spread of Jesus Gospel of Love---by a small forlorn group of 12 uneducated simple fishermen.

From the missionary movement, some countries reaped much spiritual fruit and…

The Greatest Commandment is Love, because the fundamental purpose of God's creation is the expression of His love. The question was asked of me several times by different church members----"Why do you even come to this church?" And I explained that I have been coming to this church to learn how to love--for my own salvation.But, because I love the bretheran, my heart is all about seeing how I can be of assistance to others and how I could help---whether it be to offer dietary…

Almost 2000 Years ago, Jesus (to whom Rev. Moon fervently prayed to in his early ministry in the 1950's)---gave these statements about what the standard is to walk in the presence of God. These standards never changed. Father taught about humility and service and inspired the members to live that way. The UC has to get over the human glorification and worship, the "chosen people" fallacy, and the unearned adoration because of blood lineage. Jesus himself…

If we are to live in the presence of God---all the time--then honesty and sincerity are required. We cannot hide behind guilt and fear----as has been taught us by some of our spiritual leaders. God, who is all powerful and controls the universe "knows every sparrow that falls", stands silently by---allowing His Faith Children free will to find Him and learn to do His will. Each person has the ability to directly communicate with God. No special order of priests are needed. For too long, the…

Do not overlook the value of your spiritual heritage, the river of truth running down through the centuries, even to the barren times of a materialistic and secular age. In all your worthy efforts to rid yourselves of the superstitious creeds of past ages, make sure that you hold fast the eternal truth. But be patient! when the present superstition revolt is over, the truths of Jesus’ gospel persist gloriously to illuminate a new and better way.

But paganized and socialized…

At some point, Father is destined to pass from the earth plane to the spirit world. After Jesus passed on, He made several appearances before 40 days after his resurrection. Since Father came to fulfill the mission of Jesus, and accomplished the 4 position foundation on earth----I am expecting that He will also make post resurrection appearances to the faithful. Jesus death and resurrection were monumental events in the history of God's Plan for us. His passing marked the end of an age, when…

My dear child, this is your universe mother. Most of mankind know me as the Holy Spirit. Indeed I am a Holy Spirit, a reflection of the Infinite Spirit. You could say that the Infinite Spirit is the all-seeing eye of the cosmos. That all-seeing eye has come to reside in me. Do you know how much joy I have, my children? I wish that you could see what I see and feel what I feel. You would marvel if you could spend just a day with me as we traveled that corridor of space that is my domain. Yet,…

"There is one God, and He is the Father of all Men". Jesus testified to this fact after his physical death and resurrection. Jesus also testified in his appearances---the love of the Father for ALL his children---no matter what their beliefs. He said that it was the quality of character and the sincerity of the heart---living by faith---that connected the Father and man----and gave him eternal life. These accounts of Jesus appearances were compiled so that only the words of Jesus himself are…

Teacher: “You must find the balance between your survival instinct and your spiritual vocation. I know you desire lasting peace of mind, without the tensions of daily life, but you must understand that these tensions are necessary for your personal and spiritual progress. The trials of life are the lessons you will remember in eternity, and problems you have solved will make you a better contributor…

Amazing at how truth converges among different spiritual realizations:

"The sum total of personality realization on a material world is contained within the successive conquest of the seven psychic circles of mortal potentiality. Entrance upon the seventh circle marks the beginning of true human personality function. Completion of the first circle denotes the relative maturity of the mortal being. Though the traversal of the seven circles of cosmic growth does not equal fusion with…

It's very easy to get infatuated by an earthly prophet. But, just as "all roads lead to Rome"---all spiritual seeking for truth has to culminate in the Universal Father. Sometimes our vision is far too earthbound. When we consider the Madison Square Garden event, (of which I fundraised and witnessed for) and the Washington Monument Event; and the Albert Hall Event in London,(of which I brought several home church members to from Southfields, near Wimbledom)---we must think about what the…

“Today we would like to recite a prayer, for it is important that we take time

out to communicate at the highest level with the Creator and feed our souls.

Prayer is a way for us to elevate our spiritual awareness, and to strengthen

The Beloved One: “Dear one, allow me to offer a few words on the subject of grace and mercy. You often pray and give thanks for God’s grace and mercy, but do you really know what this means? Grace is the experience of life itself; being able to do as you please because God gave you the free will gift of making choices and…

Throughout history, missionaries from various religions have gone out to other countries to spread their particular "gospels". That is how the religions spread through the expanding world. Take Buddism, for example. Sidhartha was a minor prince of a petty feudal tribal leader in India. Years later, after Sidhartha's death; devout followers of his "path of enlightenment", expanded a modified Buddism religion throughout China, Tibet, Japan, Korea, and many other countries. The religion has…

Yes, Jim, I made a personal testimony about Rev. Moon. Thank you for posting it again and again for me. Each time you post it, I also re-read it----and I still find it a valid expression of my understanding. However, I no longer wish to assume responsibility for another person's choices in life and I am learning more about the Father's heart. So, I want to focus on God's goodness so that I don't fall into the trap of believing that I am a judge over other human beings. This is a favorite…
