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 Uniļ¬cation 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.

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 ģžė¦¬ģ¶•ė³µ “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.” (ģ²œģ¼źµ­ģ‹œėŒ€ģ˜ ģƒķ™œģ›ė¦¬ ź°•ķ•“ The Era of CIG Practical living DP Lecture p 20-2.1)]
True Father told us that what we received was a “position Blessing ģžė¦¬ģ¶•ė³µ”. 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.

Message from Kayo Alexander

I once had a dream of TM; she was shining like the full moon at night. I had a realization then that she was the Queen of the universe! I loved her. So please understand my shock and sorrow when I had to conclude that she was compromised! This realization of mine was not based on any gossiping, it was based on reading and listening to her actual words. Please read her speeches since TF's passing. It is clear to me that she has denied his legacy, ignored his wishes regarding the 8 great textbooks, his heir, not sell the property, among others. Moreover, now she claims she was born without the original sin, and Han blood line is greater than Moon, etc. She was great, but she got compromised at the very end! I am very sorry when I have to say this.

Bequeathed the "Ark"

In June 2010 Father held a Ceremony for all Regional Leaders, National Leaders, National Messiahs and other leaders entitled the "Ceremony for Bequeathing the Textbooks and Teaching Materials of True Parents' Word and for the Safe Arrival of the 'Cheon Bok Ark'. The Eight Great Textbooks were being bequeathed through God, True Parents and Hyung Jin Moon, according to the official memo, to people who had completed the special 120 days training, among other requirements.
The purpose of the 2010 ceremony bequeathing the Eight Great Textbooks was, to quote the memo, to: " 1) Firmly establish True Parents' eight great textbooks and teaching materials that were inherited through the special 120-day education as the center of the Word and faith in the churches and families and it's legitimacy. 2) To create the opportunity for a new resurrection centering on the eight great textbooks and teaching materials that were produced as the fruition of True Parents' love. 3) To offer devotion centering on the Word of the eight great textbooks and teaching materials and make the resolution of creating an actual foundation for the reunification of North and South Korea by Foundation Day on January 13, 2013. " The purpose for us to keep this covenant was like the seriousness of the Israelites keeping the Ten Commandments when the entered Canaan! Another thing that struck me was the fact that the "Ark" was being passed on to us through Hyung Jin Nim, who True Parents bequeathed the "Ark" to first during his Inauguration (Inheritor) Ceremony.

How I feel about Mother


I wrote this to bring a friend up to speed on what has been happening.
After a year of FB debates sometimes 1000 Q and As long, and extensive research of Father's words and the old and new CSGs, and after visiting Sanctuary, feeling Father's spirit there, and after receiving feeling anew the Blessing and ancestor liberation I am convinced that Father's choices were the right ones.
How do I feel about Mother? I still love her. She and Father came to me spiritually and helped our family several years ago. I respect all that she has done for Father, us, and the world, but I think she is sincerely misguided at this time.
She mis judged the providence and saw herself as an equal co messiah. The subtle difference of subject and object messiah did not register. She began to change all the eternal directions Father had given about the Word, the Heirs, the pledge, the anthem, the DP, etc. The changes were done subtly and slowly but steadily. Many could not see the changes or lived in denial. Mother began to speak in ways that changed the very basis of our theology. Implying she was the main messiah who saved Father. Her lineage was superior to his.
Nevertheless, the changes were made and God's blessing and protection began to leave the FF. HMN, one of Mother's main advisors and supporters became corrupted. Other leaders as well. Huge sums of money were misused. Many members and leaders began to realize this and looked toward The three time anointed, appointed, and tried Heirs.
The Heirs took Jacob's course and tried for years to serve Mother and win her over in every way. Unfortunately things got worse. Hyung Jin Nim started to speak out and declare the painful truth. Amazingly in one short year tens of thousand of members rallied including some of the ACLC ministers.
The FF instead of meeting this crisis with love and explanations began to intimidate and repress members world wide, to prevent further losses. The very nature of their reaction indicated they had no answers.
In addition, the events of the central providential core have effects on world events. As good conditions are made the affairs of the members adhering to Father's way have improved and some hope looms in world affairs, despite some potential scary scenarios still hanging on.
So as we debate one another, hopefully more and more in good faith and love, we are all growing our understanding of truth, spirit, and character. The truth will win out in love, along with some often really passionate debate.

Father as the Absolute Subject

Feb. 28, 2016 Sanctuary Sermon "Absolute God" 
A few weeks ago, Rev. Yoo, the main lecturer of the OSDP content received the Sanctuary Blessing and repented for his rebellion against Father by opposing Kook Jin Nim and Hyung Jin Nim. Soon after Mother gathered main leaders and lecturers for a 2 day workshop. Many objected to the lecture given on the Only Begotten Daughter theology and to the explanation about the sale of precious holy land in Kuri where Father spoke so many times. Almost all opposed the justification given for that sale and the way it was done without the approval of Kuri Church members, as legally required.
FFWPU's theologians may try to hide or be unaware of how Father was the absolute subject in the True Family, but Hyung Jin Nim LIVED in his Father's household. There is a REASON why Father was the absolute subject in their home!

Heavenly Parent

After TF's ascension the UC changed the wording of God. It is now "Heavenly parents"or " Heavenly parent" in the family pledge and all other writings. This is misleading, and confusing. Divine Principle clearly states as follows. " In relation to the universe, God is the subject partner having the qualities of internal nature and masculinity. " DP Creation 1.1
The UC/FF was planning to take our church to a different direction even when TF was fighting for his life in the hospital. To change our theology, their first task was to change the way we call our God. Then they gradually altered the key contents of the DP to raise TM up to the level of the woman Messiah who was born sinless therefore greater than TF.

I and others in Sanctuary Church take TF and TP very seriously

Jonathan Diamond is a FFWP member in Pennsylvania. The following is his response to a post about a Kodan leader instructing the members not to have any give and take with Sanctuary members.
"Jonathan Diamond If such direction was given it is clear why . Sanctuary Church is so hateful and slanderous towards True Mother, so twisting and misunderstanding of Her every word and deed, what is there to talk about?True Mothers direction is to focus on home church and tribal Messiahship. Seems reasonable to spend our limited time and energy in ways that can produce good results for God."
Anslie Abraham
My response to Jonathan Diamond, your statement above in my opinion spews nothing but hate. I know you are with mother but I still love you, including all other members on mother's side. In my mind nothing about you has changed. You chose to take side with mother in ignorance, we chose Hyung Ji Nim the appointed heir of TF. Like many members on your side you are also emotionally involved with mother and we understand that.
Emotionally speaking I also love mother also like most of you, but I, like others in Sanctuary Church think principally. We put the desires, instructions and above all the sacrifices of True Father, who is the principal founder of our movement at the forefront. When I joined the Church I saw father first, I heard father first, I came to believe him to be the 2nd coming of Jesus. I learned the Divine Principle that TF taught.
I never heard mother teaching DP or speaking to members, doing hun dok hae with members. I heard TF went to jail many time for teaching DP in North Korea. I heard True Father beaten to death by the North Koreans police and thrown outside on the ice to die. I heard TF was sent to the death camp in North Korea. Now tell me why would I not honor the sacrifices and desires of TF. He appoints Hyung Ji Nim to be his successor after he is gone, this is his desire and instructions to follow after he is gone. Please think why TF crowned Hyung Jin Nim and Yeonah Nim, not one time, not two times but three times at different occasions along with mother.
If TF desired mother to take control after he is gone then would he not have appointed mother as his successor, and in that case he would not have appointed Hyung Ji Nim as his successor. Why should I follow mother now after all my life I followed TF who was publicly persecuted shunned from many countries, sent to jail, persecuted for my sake and fasted and prayed with tears for the salvation of the world. Do you Jonathan know of any Rock that is called the 'Rock of Tears' after mother's name?
Remember, we follow TF and want to do what he desired. He loved even those who he knew would betray him including mother, and therefore we love you likewise. But loving does not mean that we hide the truth. If you are wrong, someone has to tell you that you are wrong, especially in providential matters. If no one points out your wrong doing then all wrongs is eventually considered right. This is the reason we have to tell you what is right and what is wrong. This is not hate this is called Correction.
TF in his life time promoted mother in many ways, appointed her as head of women's organization, sent her out for speaking tours. He shared with her his prominence and prestige and he made sure that members know publicly that he loved her. Let me ask you, Jonathan, did he ever once in his life time said that we should follow mother after his ascension? On the contrary he appointed Hyung Jin Nim publicly three times, why, why? Can't you see the obvious? I write this with heavy heart, for I and others in Sanctuary Church take TF and TP very seriously in life and we are utterly heart broken with what has happened to our movement that True Father founded with Tears Sweat and Blood.

From a friend!

Dear Mark,
I have been reading the DP again and found this very interesting and something from the Bible as well. "The will of goodness that man should not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil should have been conveyed by God to Adam, by Adam to Eve, and Eve to the archangel, thus multiplying goodness." From the Foundation of Restoration, pgs.244-245
And this is from our Bible Hoon Dok: A liturgy for the King, A prayer for victory, Psalms 20.1-9
The Lord answer you in the day of trouble!
The name of the God of Jacob protect you!
May He send you help from the SANCTUARY,
and give you support from Zion!
May he remember all of your offerings,
and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices!
May he grant you your heart's desire,
and fulfill all your plans!
May we shout for joy over your victory,
and in the name of your God set up your banners!
May the Lord fulfill your petitions!
Now I know that the Lord will help his anointed;
he will answer him from his holy heaven
with mighty victories from his right hand.
Some boast of chariots, and some of horses;
but we boast of the name of the Lord our God.
They will collapse and fall;
but we shall rise and stand upright.
Give victory to the king, O Lord;
answer us when we call.
Amazing!
