True Parents' Last Words

*@****True Parents have already prepared the last words I will give to humankind. These have been prepared based on my triumphs over six or seven life-or-death situations, including six periods of unjust imprisonment. I am leaving behind eight textbooks and teaching materials for humankind to use for all eternity. Altogether, these are published in almost a thousand volumes.
They are:
The Sermons of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon,
Exposition of the Divine Principle,
Cheon Seong Gyeong [Heavenly Scripture],
The Family Pledge,
Pyung Hwa Shin Gyeong [Messages of Peace],
True Families -- Gateway to Heaven,
Owner of Peace and Owner of Lineage, and
World Scripture.
These are textbooks you will have to read and study even after you go to the spirit world. They are not just teachings that come from the mind of one person; they are textbooks and teaching materials that teach the heavenly way that God has granted to His suffering children for their salvation.
You should now set up the Hoon Dok Hae study tradition in your families using the books I have mentioned. That is the tradition where three generations of a family start each day by reading Heaven's word, and lead a life of practicing what they read, with a new heart. Let's create a world where people in the spirit world and the earthly world can both attend True Parents at the same time, and read the word on the heavenly path together.
Once this happens, no matter how hard Satan may try to worm his way in, to infest your lineage, once he encounters the Hoon Dok Hae tradition he will find no room to move.

Analysis of Dr. Mickler's article

(We have been UTSers and friends since 1975.)
I think his intro spins against SC by pushing SC as schismatic. I believe FF peeled off from the founder's teaching.
He initially seems to indicate that SC split because of apocalyptic views rather than from pleading with Mother for years to honor Father's essential Word. Not following the Word, essential for salvation, as Father stated, is the main reason for the split.
He continues, describing some of the SC beliefs in a less than complimentary way, but in the ball park. He wrongly states SC doesn't have contact with the outside world.
He rightly agrees that Father crowned Hyung Jin.
He fails to take into account SC's geometrically increasing numbers, despite it's short life.
He then parallels our schism with other churches. He is a historian, but does not take into account that Father is the Messiah.
Overall, more fair than any UTS presentation so far.
I know Dr. Mickler and Dr. Wilson well. I hope they interview more knowledgable SCers in the future in order to increase their academic credibility. UTS an interfaith seminary could be a bastion of light and reconciliation among our own members.

Young Whi Kim information

From a blog that seeks to avoid attack, but read by my wife who I trust.
A year or so ago YWK gave a talk saying Mother was born with OS. This comforted the older members who were feeling uneasy with the new theology.
Then TMs recent speech contradicted YWKs lecture. People had hoped TM would come around, but she didn't, so YWK stopped coming to all the public events.
Mother is doubling down on no OS for her at birth.

(from previous post...)

Latest developments from Yonemoto blog.
Young Whi Kim recently turned in his resignation. And he did NOT attend the meeting of 150 senior members where mother gave each couple 2 million won.
It's like a bribe or hush money. People felt very uncomfortable.
He was supposed to give a speech at the gathering, but did not show up.
Finally another top elder member realizing things have gone too far and following up with action. Perhaps ancestors are waking up some folks.

Vegas Peace Palace

From Yanemoto blog on Vegas Peace Palace.
It is leasing the facility for outside business. 46 bedrooms, 4 suite room, one bridal suite, a reception room. Parties and bridal parties. All for rent now. Advertising closeness to airport. Of course church can use. Without explanation some one is making money. We all donated to the Peace Palace. What's up? Yanemoto suggests suing for fraud. Why did we donate to build another hotel in Vegas?
It will not be a holy place and who benefits? Donors?
See blog for video in English advertising. Near bottom, looks like Babylon

Angels have great power! Swedenborg

I have seen also hundreds of thousands of evil spirits dispersed by angels and cast down into hell. Numbers are of no avail against them; neither are devices, cunning, or combinations; for they see through them all, and disperse them in a moment. Such power do angels have in the spirit world.

Power of Angles Comes from the Lord

Angels are powerful, but one has to remember the following. Quoted text from Swedenborg's Heaven and its Wonders and Hell.
But it must be understood that the angels have no power whatever from themselves, but that all their power is from the Lord. Whoever of them believes that he has power from himself instantly becomes so weak as not to be able to resist even a single evil spirit.
My wife says Swedenborg says angels speak a totally different language which we learn intuitively because it's the language of love and heart.
These posts on angels are from my wife who is reading Swedenborg. Father said in Vegas that we oldies should prepare for SW.

From new Japanese blogs favoring SC.

Japanese FF is witnessing with tablet computers. A lot of lady members didn't own computers before, but now that they have computers for witnessing, they are accessing SC on the net, and joining.

Why Jesus was dude to his mother.

Dan Stein captured the attention of a minister when he taught the Fall of Man, the three families and the mission of Jesus. He asked one penetrating question. "If Jesus was so patient and so forgiving ~ he forgave the woman at the well without hesitation, then why was he so rude to his mother at the marriage in Cana?" Jesus was so patient and kind except in this instance. Referring to his mother as "Woman" he said, "What does this have to do with me." This was not the wedding Jesus wanted to participate in. He wanted to give the Marriage Blessing to all mankind. The pastors when hearing this have an "Ah, ha" moment of realization.
This is from an ACLC post but it explains the precedent of Hyung Jin having to be vertically strict with his own mother, for the world's sake, her sake, and God's.
It is also a great approach with ministers and others!

Dr. Panzer Puts it all Together

Excellent conclusion of Dr. Panzer putting it all together!
To conclude, in order to agree with Tyler's belief that Mother is perfect, incapable of making a providential mistake, and totally united with Father after his passing, we would have to accept that when Father arrived in the spirit world in 2012, he suddenly realized or admitted to himself that
He was wrong about Mother coming from a Satanic lineage.

He was wrong about Mother needing to meet him as the Second Coming of Christ in order to be restored, that in fact she was sinless from birth.He had failed to sufficiently educate members and the world about Mother's position as the sinless Only Begotten Daughter who was the fruit of all Christian and Korean history. 
He was wrong to not educate members about the glorious Han lineage.
He was wrong to insist that the CSG not be changed. That it in fact needed to be "improved" by removing inappropriate strong, critical statements about Mother and church leaders.
Even though he and Mother had anointed and appointed and reappointed Hyung Jin Nim and Yeonah Nim as the heir/successor/inheritor/resident body couple of True Parents in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, Father suddenly realized that this couple was not qualified and that the appointment must be revoked or delayed until Mother decided Hyung Jin Nim was obedient to her "innovations."
Father realized that Hyung Jin Nim must be immediately fired from all his positions in Korea.
Three months later Father realized that it was wrong for Hyung Jin Nim to teach about Absolute Sex, that he must stop doing so immediately and must be fired from his position as American church president.

If you want to believe these eight assumptions, then that is your choice. But if you accept them, do you really still believe that Father is the returning Messiah? As for me, I choose to believe the words that Father spoke, when he said,
"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.

Heaven

Swedenborg tells us that heaven has three levels: the heavenly or celestial, the spiritual, and the natural. In keeping with the oddity of space and time in the spiritual world, he will interchangeably describe these three levels as progressing either upward or inward.
It’s common to visualize heaven as being far above us and hell as being far below us. Because it is difficult to think apart from time and space, Swedenborg also speaks in those terms. He teaches that we are surrounded by the world of spirits, with heaven above us and hell below us; those in the “highest” heaven are “closest” to the Lord, while those in the “lowest” hell are described as being farthest away. These spatial terms are useful when we consider that in common speech we say things like, “I feel very close to my cousin, even though she lives very far away.” We know that we are speaking about spiritual affinity, not geographical proximity.
At the top of everything, at the highest point, is the Lord, whom Swedenborg describes as a living sun radiating divine good and truth throughout creation.
Swedenborg, however, does not limit himself to this top-down paradigm. He also describes heaven as being human in form, with individual communities corresponding to the function of the organs in our body. (For more on this, see the page on the Universal Human.) In this view, the Lord is the center of the body, not in the literal sense of being part of its anatomy, but in the more spiritual sense of being at the “core” of the being, sustaining it just as we are sustained by our souls.
Heaven, then, is not so much a place as a collective entity made up of good people who perform an important use, much as we ourselves are made up of individual cells and atoms that are essential to the full functioning of our body. The animating force of heaven, as well as of living creatures on earth, is God’s love and wisdom. God, for Swedenborg, is not a remote being who created the universe and then retired to heaven; on the contrary, God is the very essence of life, love, and wisdom itself, the source and sustenance of all that exists. In brief, God is closer to us than the beating of our heart and the breath of our nostrils. But we only experience this closeness to the extent that we align ourselves with God’s will. This is what opens us to the influx of God’s love and wisdom—also called heaven.
While Swedenborg describes heaven as being a place of inexpressible joy and peace, he also warns that people who are not ready to experience a certain level of heaven will feel uncomfortable, even sick, and will be forced to retreat back down to lower levels until they have been properly prepared. This is even truer of spirits who are bound for hell.

Persecution of SC is leading some to consider us more favorably

This is a snapshot of LA. Richard Moore, who is not an SC member asked chairman of LA Board about unusual election procedures. A series of email exchanges widely broadcast.
This is after board fired our SC member, Diana Aiga. They threatened to fire her as church greeter too, until David Rueter threatened a boycott and publicly emailed church wide for neutrality.
The head of the L A board works for H1 as well! Yet they act like they are so orthodox. Although at this point I would prefer them to FF. Although I heard they might fire you if you don't go a certain way.

From Richard.
a response to Naoko FW: Wow extreme bias and prejudice RE: condition of elections RE: Council Nominees
In case you didn't see, Nelson had a lot to say.
And he's brave speaking out.
Vote, no matter what. It starts this Sunday.
How could anyone say you can't vote???
Is there a test of faith now, just to vote?!?
This is the fastest way to divide apart and break up the church our True Parents started, and that we all worked so hard to build up over the years.
I don't think True Parents meant for this to happen.
Sincerely,
Richard Moore,

Woah, woah wah wah.
I am always notified when something is Funny (that makes him laughhh hahahah). This Naoko thinks that god's Kingdom is hers?
I know for sure she is Un-principled, as her husband is H1 (Dr Hyun JN) and Kwak'ian, whom TF HAS DIS-CONNECTED
from Family of UC, ie. Naoko has to follow her husband as he is SUBJECT. Shadows, shadows shadows ..
No Shadows (TF said) ..... nothing to hide!!!
This is what I know and I hv something to say of Naoko Hiraki ..... un-sweet voice.
I am following True Father, and he anointed his Heir, and Inheritor 3 times; His Lineage. If its NOT for REAL, why would TF said in video his Words of what he wants all to follow. I am FILIAL, OBEDIENT & have Love for True father and His appointment of His Son; Heir anointed. If TF has appointed someone else, pls let me know by any video of True Father's appointing anyone else besides his 7th son, Hyung JN and held a Cain/Abel Ceremony (HJN & KJN) and his grandson, Shin Joon. This is the TRUTH, by video and his Word on video and on His Decree, on paper signed by TF naming HJN, and NOT Naoko Hiraki, or anyone else.
Naoko has always been dis-courteous, and RUDE as a Kodan Leader!!!
Love & Blessings to all!!

Wow Naoko,
You are pretty bold telling me what I am. You have actually labeled me without knowing anything about me.
That's pretty biased!
Especially since I don't even know who you are and we have never ever spoke together, so how do you know who or what I am?
And are you afraid of church members who joined many years ago and worked very hard to build this church?
We should not be seeking to divide our church and fracture it, but to keep it together, embrace everyone, and show to the world that we are the Unification Church, which implies that we even to unify ourselves, not seek to divide ourselves.
You seem to be on the divisive side.

Dear MacKay Holmes, LACF Council, Chairman, et. al.,
Other bodies conduct elections all the time.
As a member of the national NEA and AFT, and the state CTA and CFT teacher unions, and having been involved as a successfully elected candidate of these associations, and being on the election committee at my local union area, I have had a chance to see how large and complex elections are planned out in order to give everyone time to meet all the deadlines for all the open positions, and an awareness about all the steps and timelines in the election processes for each of the positions being put up for a vote.
If you are going to conduct an election, rather than a selection, then you should post the descriptions and the critical dates:
1) Positions being put up for election
2) terms of office for each position
3) requirements to become a candidate for each position (which you did)
4) range of time that nominations are to be accepted
5) dates, times, and places of speeches or question and answer sessions posed to the candidates
6) range of time that elections will cover
7) and variety of ways that votes will be accepted,
8) posting of results of elections
9) dates successful candidates will be taking office
10) methods and conditions that elected candidates can be removed from office after winning an election
If you are not doing this, then you are keeping everyone in the dark as to the veracity of your elections.
Sincerely,
