Only One Line of Authority

******"Today, at this time, there must only be one line of authority. The center, centered on Korea or on the world, over the entire Unification Church will stretch out and become larger. From now, I can leave someone in charge of my work on my behalf. Currently, there is no one among our church members who surpasses Hyung Jin in his standard of faith or in any other way. Do you understand? I am appointing him."

"Father, people were unaware of the fact that when midnight comes after the passing of early evening, the shining hope of tomorrow that is the True Parent, the True Teacher, and the True King, the representative of the kingship of hope, and the authority of the heir to that kingship, is here."
"At this time of transition today, this occasion is one where they can inherit the authority as the representatives and heirs who can attend to everything on behalf of True Parents."

My Profound Spiritual Experiences

Based on honestly seeking the truth, I had two major spiritual experiences that totally changed my life. One was a direct experience with God, September 3, 1972. The other was a direct experience with Father's spirit, August 30, 2015. A 43 year difference. Of some interest also, Father passed away on my 40th spiritual birthday.
I was attending a Divine Principle workshop in Booneville, CA. At the end of the three day workshop we went out to shake hands with "Papasan" Choi, pioneer of Japan and the Western US. The clouds parted and the sun shone through at that exact time. I was quite moved by the workshop and went to sit down in the field to bask in the good feelings. Mr. Choi's young son, Chinky, came over and sat next to me. Suddenly I heard a rustling almost roaring sound. It sounded like thousand of flags fluttering. Some say it could have been angel's wings. I saw a golden light envelope the sky and felt and incredible surge of God's infinite, powerful, yet sensitive parental love. I realized the essence of the universe is that parental love and Chinky's presence completed that circuit of parental love.
From that point on I realized I needed to study the Principle more and connect more consistently to the overflowing God of love. As I have my own children I realize more and more how God must feel.
On August 30, 2015 Kayo and I traveled to Newfoundland, PA to participate in a blessing officiated by Hyung Jin Nim, Father Moon's youngest son and the spiritual heir chosen by Father Moon.
A Great experience in the Poconos. Blessing at Sanctuary Church, Newfoundland, PA
As we flew into Newark airport, a clear Friday night, the full moon shone on the a Freedom Tower and the Statue of Liberty. It was very moving. We rented a car and stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in Rockaway. Early Saturday morning we drove to Newfoundland, a little over an hour away. It seemed shorter because the drive is so beautiful and our spirit was enhanced as we get closer to Newfoundland.
We visited Sanctuary Church and checked out the surrounding area - Sparky's Restaurant, some beautiful lakes, and peaceful scenery. We felt a very good spirit all day.
That night at the hotel, I drifted off to sleep, and envisioned myself being sprinkled by holy water by Heung Jin Nim, but then Father's spirit shone through him and sprinkled us with Holy Water. I woke up and tears came to my eyes.
The next morning we headed back to SC for the big event. There were so many family members there from all over the world. It was like old times again only better.
A beautiful fresh spirit encompassed us all and the programs began. Many times I envisioned Father in my mind's eye and felt his presence. Tearing up was rather commonplace. I heard that Hyung Jin Nim devotes all of Saturday to prepare for Sunday. Yesterday it was reported that Father came to him while he was preparing and he just broke down in tears.
Needless to say it was an epic event and I heard that it reverberated world wide.
Everything went very smoothly internally and externally. I recommend all to keep striving to connect with Father and his guidance to connect to God, as he said we all can. That is, and always has been, the real solution to any problems.
Since that event, our lives have taken on an even better trajectory. Some challenges occurred, but very nice progress emerged from them.
God's parental heart is unfailing, infinite, and beyond time and space. Seek Him and he will find you and lead you in wondrous ways, and you will understand him more and more.

Anger?

It seems every month or so our misguided Unificationist brethren launch a concerted attack on Sanctuarians and the True Heirs appointed by Father. Even their most erudite representatives have done very little study of the core issues and Father's core directions for the future. They seem to be living in an ancient time warp.
Sometimes they seek to insult us and when some respond in kind, they say, "see, you have anger problems." This is often a far left tactic as well. To me the greatest anger is often repressed into a passive aggressive mode. Like slowly changing and diminishing Father's life masterpieces. An example would be redoing a Picasso, hiding it, or painting a mustache on it. What type of widow or loving disciple would do that? I prefer someone who expresses anger straight out rather than in a sneaky backstabbing way.
Jesus and and God and Father expressed anger in a healthy way straight out. Then forgot about it if things corrected.
Let it out, hash it out, straighten it out, then let's move forward.

Perfection stage wedding never took place

Two reasons for lack of unity between Father and Mother near the end from Father's words. Add to that the fact that Mother is not acting unified as she sneakily hides, degrades, or drastically changes Father's eternal heritage in order to totally change theology and direction of our movement.
(True Father speaking on August 29, 2011)
By having the holy wedding ceremony of perfected True Parents when I become 93 years old and mother becomes 70 years old, we will enter the era in which True Parents will go with all (the Blessed) families heading for a perfected heaven and earth.
Our birthday next year will be for this wedding ceremony. Fallen parents (Adam and Eve), without accomplishing their responsibility, messed around with everything in heaven and earth, but by having the wedding ceremony when True Parents can proclaim their perfection, we need to re-establish the standard of liberating the nation centering on 36 couples, 72 couples, 124 couples, and 430 couples, and call all the Blessed families (to Korea)."
The day prior to this Holy Wedding of True Parents, True Father simply cancelled the wedding and gave Mother one more year to achieve the level of unity with Father. Father passed into the spiritual world and the final stage, perfection stage wedding never took place.

"The Substantial God (God incarnate) attends to the God of Night I put Mother in that position and she must attend to me as I did to the God of Night. She is like my physical body. Even if Mother goes up to that position (the God of Day) she must know that there is the God of Night upon her. She, putting me on the top of the God of Day, must be able to attend to me as the God of Night. When it is done, everything is fully finished. If Mother does not know this, I will not go to that position."

Japanese post about Father and 6 Marys

The first of the two blogs. Short translation. For HM, it must have been easier to think that TF failed in regards to the 6 Mary, rather than accept it as God's providence. If you a Japanese spouse or friend, they can help you with this. This is just a small sample of a variety of sites from a very active Japanese SC.
1. お母様は三日行事廃止を主張されたという   もしそうなら家庭連合は辻褄合わせにまた一苦労 - 原理講論を読む HM said to have abolished the 3day ceremony. If so, FF will have a big headache, because they have to somehow explain it away!
2. 韓氏オモニには神の精子もなく神の血統もない。  - 原理講論を読む HM doesn't have God's seed nor God's lineage.
離教した兄弟が、自分の立場を擁護するために、辻褄を合わせるために先ずすることは、教会に対する否定です。 否定することによって自分の心と行為の安定がもたらされ、次のスタートを切ることができるからでしょう。 ある意味で仕切直しの儀式のようなものです。 お母様に於かれましてもご自分の心の痛みであった妾問題が、神の摂理であったと受け入れることよりも、お父様の失敗であり、その失敗したお父様をお母様の支えによってお救いしたのだと考える方がずっと心のわだかまりが解消されやすかったのでしょう。 だが、そのようにある意味でお母様のトラウマとなっていたような妾問題が、実はお父様の失敗であり、自分の苦しみはそのため…

FFWPU Attacks on Sanctuary

It seems every month or so our misguided Unificationist brethren launch a concerted attack on Sanctuarians and the True Heirs appointed by Father. Even their most erudite representatives have done very little study of the core issues and Father's core directions for the future. They seem to be living in an ancient time warp.

Special From SC Korean Leader (translated)

From a SC Korean leader. Very deep and good explanation of essential points. Thank you Choon Morton for this excellent translation!
Hyung Jin Nim gives clear and powerful sermons each week, but not everyone can see them. I translated a post in Korea by Professor Yong Pil Kwon, which clearly explains Mother’s mission and the 자리축복 “position” blessing. I read great posts here every day and as a Korean American, I also follow in-depth discussions in Korea. These are two completely different cultural spheres, but we are all one community of faith with the most advanced truth. I think it is important to understand the core spiritual principles that unite us.
CIG Comes Through the Heavenly Lineage
[True Father’s words: “At the time of the blessing, you repeat 4 marriage vows, don’t you? Heavenly Father brought you to that position, but when the promise is not kept, who would take responsibility for the failure? It is the person’s responsibility. The position still remains at that time and Satan cannot invade. Therefore, all the Blessed Central Families lifted their hands and gave oath.”
“When Mother started her course she also had to give her oath in front of True Father. After 40 days Flood Judgment, when his family came out from the Ark, if Noah had made his wife and each of his children one by one give an oath and then they started a new life, even later if Ham made a mistake, that could have been just Ham’s mistake. However, the whole Noah’s Ark providence would not have been destroyed.” (천일국시대의 생활원리 강해 The Era of CIG Practical living DP Lecture p 20-2.1)]
True Father told us that what we received was a “position Blessing 자리축복”. As you know when a blessed member of a blessed family fell and could not keep the Blessing only that person failed and another person can fill that position. For example, after the 6000 blessing, when the subject position (husband) failed in that family, but the object position (wife) kept the position then through re-Blessing of 6500 couple the position as 6000 couple is restored. This is because it is a “position Blessing.”
Among the FFWPU members there are so many who have a hard time to understand Moon Hyung Jin Nim’s words. When Mother did not keep her original position and left the True Mother’s position, she failed. Then one might ask, doesn’t it mean also True Parents both failed? For that reason, Sanctuary church members are attacked as people who deny True parents’ providence. Especially the Family Federation HQ educates members like that. If one accepts such misleading claims, then one does not have the correct understanding of True Father’s words.
In his speeches True Father explained that Mother had to take an oath in front of True Father before their Holy Wedding. Then she started her course. What that means is mother as an individual has a possibility to not fulfill her portion of responsibility and fail. Therefore, True Father made her take an oath, too. Why? Even if Mother fails, the providence of True Parents must continue. While True Father was on earth with us, when Mother left her object position and acted as she liked, True Father often warned her that he could divorce her. This is based on True Father’s words above, and it is not an unprincipled statement.
Now True Father has passed on and is not here on earth, so he can’t divorce and be re-Blessed. But when Han Hakja Mother left her position and failed as True Mother, then Han Hakja mother is the failed one. However, the position of True Mother does not disappear. Also the True Parents’ providence is not ending as failure. By the same token, although Adam and Eve fell, the position as God’s original son and daughter remained, so restoration was possible. It is not God ‘s creation of human beings that failed. As the second or third Adam comes and restores failures by paying indemnity, the position can be restored. This is explained in the Divine Principle.
True Mother is the one who should receive True Father, the only begotten son, the Lord of Second Advent, the Messiah. True Father’s heavenly seed brings Heaven’s blood lineage and Heavenly Father’s blood lineage. Therefore, giving birth and attending is a very important mission. The concept of begotten daughter and female messiah that Han Hakja speaks of is the opposite of what True Father is teaching. True Father’s begotten daughter is someone who receives the begotten son’s sperm and gives birth to sinless children as an offering to God and Heaven’s blood lineage. Han mother succeeded in this mission but in the mission of upholding Heaven’s lineage, she failed. Mother gave birth to 14 children through her belly, but they are the Heavenly Father’s blood lineage, the Messiah’s and the only begotten son’s blood lineage. One thing is clear: Mother is True Father’s wife and for the True Children she is in the Mother’s position, but her blood lineage is the Han lineage. It is clearly not Heaven’s lineage. Mother’s lineage is not the original sinless lineage. Mother failed in the second mission. She had to attend and protect True Father’s lineage. But she changed after True Father’s Seong Hwa. She denounced True Father’s lineage as fallen lineage and kicked out True Father’s lineage, proclaiming hers’ as the pure blood lineage which God was looking for, 6,000 years long. She lied that hers’ is the pure lineage. This act is a fallen act, an unforgivable act that God cannot forgive.
The words from True Father’s lifelong achievements were deleted, edited and added to as she wished. True Father’s substantial tradition and foundation were denied and sold. Therefore, she completely left True Mother’s position. Because Mother left her position, someone has to take responsibility and instead of her complete True Mother’s position. The representative, Inheritor, Heir, the Second King Moon Hyung Jin’s wife Yeon Ah (Lee) Moon has to take the unfulfilled responsibility instead of Mother and fulfill the True Mother position.
That does not mean though that Yeon Ah Nim would be the wife of True Father. She is only taking over the remaining part of the True Mother’s mission and fulfilling and keeping the True Parents position.
She also gave birth to the Heavenly lineage through Hyung Jin Nim’s seed and by protecting and attending her son Shin Jun Nim as the Heavenly lineage, she can indemnify the failure of Han Mother. In doing so, True Mother’s position is complete and True Parents’ position is completed.
Han Hakja Mother did not obey the call to repent and return to her original position in the set time period. Now, since she took subject position towards True Father, even if she would repent and come back to her original position, she can no longer take her position as True Mother. The responsibility has already passed over to the next person.
