Jacques Jouret is my spiritual father. November 4th, 1972 I went to Paris, invited by him via a letter. It was a Saturday. That day he focused on teaching me, especially the Divine Principle - Chapter 2. He knew that I had a male friend at the time.
I remember him drawing a vertical line on a white piece of paper and telling me, after several hours of talks, that "Until now you were sitting on the line, but tonight you are going to be either on that side (God's side) or on the other side (Satan's side). You are not in the middle anymore".
That night, in the apartment, I told my male friend this: "I told you that I was searching for something, and once I found it, I may leave you - I found it. I cannot stay tonight". It was midnight. I left the apartment and found myself alone, in the streets of Paris, at night. A town I had never been before.
... more to the story, but today it is about Jacques.
I am grateful that we met. I am grateful that he took the time to respond to my original letter which I sent from Tours where I was working. He invited me, and I went, and he taught me.
