My dream about Rev. Moon's helicopter accident

.
For decades i have had regular dreams about Rev. Moon. His followers believe this to be something very special, well, that must mean i am quite special as i dream about the man about every few weeks. I say this with a big smile of irony because in my dreams, Sun Myung Moon doesn't appear as the great king and messiah he is believed to be by Unificationists.

I won't share all of my dreams i had with and about Rev. Moon, but the dream of this blog was kind of special and informative. I got the dream on the day that he and his wife and 11 of his relatives and three crew members (according to this article) were involved in a helicopter accident. I did not hear of the accident until about one week later, when i read about it in the news. I do not recall whether i got the dream just before, during or after the accident, but i did get it on the same day, July 19, 2008.

Here's how the dream is recorded in my diary:

"I dream that Moon and his whole family visit me in my house. He behaves as if he were messiah and as if he were very good. D (someone whom i know in the Unification Church) is also in the dream and acts as if he were my brother. Moon asks me to serve him. He is showing off how good he is and questions me why i lost faith in him. Moon's children are also there and are serving in a very demonstrative way.
Then we go all out on a trip. Moon sits next to me in the train.
Later in the dream i stand next to Moon on a very high bridge over water and over land. He sees someone jumping off the bridge and he wants to save the person and jumps behind him.
I still try to stop Moon because i saw that the person doesn't need to be saved, as he is only bungee jumping. The bungee-jumping person has no injuries but Moon lands on the ground underneath the bridge and is injured.
There comes an investigation and i am suspect of having thrown Moon off the bridge. I tell them that i tried to stop him from jumping."

I interpret the dream as meaning that Rev. Moon got the helicopter accident because he is trying to save people who are not in need of his salvation and Moon himself cannot even save them but only hurts himself. The accident is a warning to him.

I later heard that Moon spoke about angels who would have saved him from death through this accident. These angels were reportedly seen around the helicopter. But might it not just as well be that these angels did not try to save Moon but have actually caused the accident? There are not just good angels in spirits world. There are also those who try to cause harm to people.

Another thing i learn from this dream that in trying to save Moon from jumping to death or injury, i became suspect of having caused the problem. I know i am trying to reach out to people who misunderstand who Moon really is, and it has been my experience over the years that this made many Unificationist persecute me in all kinds of ways.

My thoughts about Sun Myung Moon

.

Most people are making two typical mistakes about Sun Myung Moon. The one error is to think that he has always been evil. The other blunder is to believe that he is just entirely good.

When you think that Moon has always been evil, you make the mistake that you don't realize that Moon was once chosen by God for a central mission. When you believe he is good, you don't understand how he has fallen and failed his original task.

In either case, you won't really grasp the work God did with him and you won't catch how he came under evil influence. You're short in understanding of both God's work and of how people who were once chosen can fall under evil temptations.

I have been a member of the Unification Church for a number of years. When i joined the movement it was not because i thought that i would find God there. At the time i knew i had to go a course inside of that movement, but of course i wasn't yet aware of what really was going on. After years in the Unification Church and of studying their principles and Rev. Moon's teaching it came to a point that members chased me out. I was kicked out because i understood too much, i had come to see too much of the evils going on there, i had heard too many testimonies of members who had told me about what they had experienced. These testimonies came from members who had been sexually abused by leaders and who had been forced to do things they didn't really want to do.

Although i was tempted to altogether reject the Unification Church, i did not do that. From the time on that i lived outside of the Unification Church, i felt compelled to go on studying Moon and his movement. There was nothing true of the warnings that members gave that after you left the church you would come into a deep hell. My life was so much better in all respects outside of the Unification Church, except for one thing: ever since i had to leave that church their members have given me hell by persecuting me.

They are ignorant fools for the largest part. Some of them are not ignorant. They are sometimes idiots who want to keep what they have gotten, influence and power over other people. Sometimes they are really evil, in complete awareness of the reality that they don't believe in God, don't pray to God, but nevertheless always speak about God.

To which category does Moon belong? He is a case on its own. One answer that i got from God in my many prayers about Moon was that he is like a stubborn pig. Do you want him to go left, he goes right, do you want him to go right, he goes left. But knowing this, you steer him to the right if you want him to go left, and vice versa. This is how i believe that God had to work with that great master Sun Myung Moon.

He was a chosen one, but a chosen one with many big problems.

Why did God choose him for an important mission? I believe that this has to do with restoration of the past. Always, everything that we experience in life is to restore the mistakes of history. Moon has his particular role to play in the house of God's providence of restoration. I won't go into details here, but if you wish to find out more, contact me.

Rev. Moon has received great gifts from God and many of these are passed on to his children. Yet, in the latter part of his life, Moon has fallen into the habit of misusing his blessings for himself. Although he still speaks about God as he did in the earlier years of his ministry, he doesn't pray anymore to God. He prays to himself now, believing that he stands above God, that God needs him and that he did things that not even God couild accomplish. For example, Moon believes that he were capable of loving Satan more than God did and therefore he would have liberated God. It is based on such kind of nonsense thoughts that he did the most terrible thing any created being could ever do to God Almighthy.... he crowned God to king. Do you realize what this means? Only someone who stands above God could do such a thing. Moon actually tried to degrade God to a puppet of Moon's own making.

Moon always had a desire to be big and great, to have people look up to him. But he also had the wish to serve God. I don't know how deep that latter craving was in him. Maybe he wanted to obey God so he could achieve much in his life. Fact is that at a certain point in his later life, Moon came to stand for a difficult choice. Already he had built up a worldwide foundation and he had suffered much. But many things had gone wrong and he knew that very well. He knew that he would have to start all over again because his entire mission had become a failure, that he had come under the influence of followers who were only out for money and power, who had flattered him and who had come to dominate him. Yet, Moon at that point felt that he had suffered his entire life to reach the success that was now his harvest. He saw that the world would open for him and lie at his feet and he deliberately and consciously made the choice to take that harvest and to not do God's will to start all over again.

After this he wasn't anymore capable to pass on God's revelations. His speeches became empty and external. He told people to obey and respect him and to work for peace in the world and influence in society. He made friends with many evil rulers in the world. Right now his powerful foundation has become worthless in the eyes of any person loving God. He is bribing politicians and other influential figures with his big bags of money.

I don't believe that Rev. Moon can still change before he dies. He may still utter a few words of repentance in his deathbed. Rev. Moon is not important anymore. He is a figure of the past. What still is important is what God has invested in his children, his grandchildren and the most earnest ones of his followers.

That i have set up this blog is to reach out to them.

You may be rich but is it God's blessing?

.

There is a widespread belief among many who call themselves faithful that the wealth they gathered is proof of God's love for them. I don't recall the exact quotations from which they derive such belief, but it goes more or less in the line that God blesses the ones who are faithful, or blesses those who follow God's laws.

There seems to be a quite big problem with this thinking. I do also believe that God will bless a person who does right. But if we take this in a simple way we are forced to the conclusion that all poor and miserable people would be in their condition because they or their ancestors did once sin. All rich people would be rich because they did right. It surely cannot be that simple. It is actually rather outrageous to make such simple, i would say fundamentalist statements.

So let's assume that God blesses those who are faithful. But what does blessing mean? What would God mean with blessing a person? A person who wants to get rich considers wealth to be a blessing. A person who wants to get powerful considers power to be a blessing. A person who wants to get knowledgeable considers knowledge to be the blessing. Again someone else would find it a great blessing to get many children. People have all kind of opinions about 'blessings' but what matters is what God would consider to be a blessing for us.

Let's do some thought experiments. Suppose a person is addicted to the desire for money. That person goes to church and follows all the rites of his or her religion. The person really likes money and works hard and cheats a little, all within the law of course, and gathers great wealth. The person considers all the riches the result of doing right, of having the right faith. I imagine that God could desire that such person would lose all the money and becomes homeless; after many years the person comes to his or her self and finds out that the greed for money did destroy his or her inner life. I imagine that God would consider it to be a blessing that this person would lose all money and come to a deeper understanding of life.

So in this case God could consider it to be a blessing that a person loses all money, but the person thinks that blessing means getting more money. Rather complicated! Did i say now that all poor and hungry people are in such condition because they once did sin? No, i am not saying that at all. I believe people have a responsibility to care for each other. Some people may get wretched because they were lazy, others may loose their wealth and well-being because others did them wrong -- there could be so many reasons for that.

It's a common way of thinking of certain believers that God gave them wealth to use it in a responsible way. Yes, if you get something from God, you should be responsible for it, but what if you didn't get it from God but you stole it? What would then be your responsibility? It seems rather clear that in that case you should return to the owner what you stole.

There are so many ways of stealing. Many governments steal and have stolen by causing inflation of currencies in some way. They just steal a little bit from each person. Many banks and large corporations do the same. They just take a tiny something from many. Nobody notices it. The banks' owners use their money to influence politics. They get a good name, are respected, but some or more of them may actually be thieves. Instead of discontinuing to steal they make large donations to some kind of charity. Now they are not only thieves but also falsely hailed as famous saints.

The practiced principles of the religions that dominate today's world are clearly incapable of enough judging such misdoings and setting them straight.

Thoughts on Sun Myung Moon

Do you really think that God would like someone to dress up like king Moon and queen mrs. Moon, with mighty crowns and gowns and gold and glitter and pump? God regretted Israel's desire to have a king Saul like the pagan countries had. Jesus walked the earth looking more like a vagabond than a king. Do you really think God would wish such external signs of power for a person?

There is the contradiction between what Moon often said, that his followers had failed and that he proclaimed himself higher and higher in the universe. Wouldn't his success have to be the accomplishment of having brought his followers to fulfillment? He has a word to explain this contradiction: Indemnity. What a magical word! What would that have to mean?
Rev. Moon has said that he respects and studied the lives of evil powerful men, to learn from their methods. However, it is wrong to believe that the methods applied by evil subjects could equally be used for spreading goodness. The main problem of evil subjects is that they embark on the freedom of individuals. For God, nothing is more essential than that each person grows in complete freedom.
Rev. Moon explained in some of his speeches that he practiced long in front of a mirror to learn to show a pleasant and amicable smile. Smiles sell great!
The original task of Moon was to find out in which way Christianity had developed wrong ideas about the life and mission of Jesus. Moon realized that Jesus was not supposed to have been crucified. Moon's church was founded with the name the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity. The mission of this association was to live in the Holy Spirit from which the religion of Christianity had disconnected. If one now looks at what is in and around Moon's movement, we see that they embraced many Christian ministers and traditions, but also are most vigorously opposed by other Christians. This demonstrates the failure of the church to have unified Christianity. The Unification Church became just another Christian denomination.
Who does more for peace, someone who states peace at conferences or the unknown individual who fights against evil in himself and around him?
