5 Testimony Richard Francis
Two weeks later, I met one of the Japanese missionaries from the Unification Church and was invited to the church center. While waiting for the lecture, I curiously opened a Divine Principle Book, and I saw the picture of Father Moon. The book immediately seemed to turn to gold, and a blinding ray of white light from Father’s picture came out at me. I froze; then I regained my composure and ran out.

7 "A Testimony to God's Word, in Regard to Divine Principle"
Gil Ja Sa Eu 2013 Early Testimonies from UC 50’s The Words of the Eu Family Forward to "A Testimony to God's Word, In Regard to Divine Principle" Gil Ja Sa Eu September 11, 2013 As I am writing this book, A Testimony to God's Word in Regard to Divine Principle, in compliance with Father's direction, I will start with an excerpt from Father's Words. "The Word is the record of the tradition by which Teacher gained total victory over Satan. This tradition must be embedded within our everyday lives for us to bring about the Realm of Liberation for Heaven and Earth. You must spread the Word for which Teacher had to risk his life. Since the Word is the Word from Heaven, Teacher can work the miracle of resurrection centering on the Word even in the spirit world. So the Word is not something that simply flows by us and is gone. It can be compared to Teacher's final testament to his descendants. One day, Teacher will pass away. When he does, he must leave behind the Word. You must realize how rational the Word is, how principled it is, and how it has the power to grasp people's hearts." 4/16/99 "The Word spoken by Teacher is filled with energy, and people are drawn to it. They continue to follow the Word, even when they are told not to. The Word spoken by Teacher is the eternal textbook. Teacher teaches through revelation, so miraculous things happen. Therefore Satan cannot lay his hands on it. We must guide people to read the Principle." 2/9/02 I joined the church in At that time, there was an incident in which certain students and professors of Ehwa Woman's University and Yeonsei University were harshly persecuted to the point of being expelled from the school or fired. I was among the students expelled from Ehwa Woman's University during this incident. It was Teacher's [Sun Myung Moon's] Word, his Jeong Seong and his love that made it impossible for me to leave the Unification Church even after finding myself in this difficult situation. The profound and mysterious Word as spoken by Father penetrated into my heart. Moreover, an amazing spiritual power completely captivated me and led me to follow the Word even in the most difficult situation. We were young then, and the Principle and the Word spoken to us by Father were like nothing else in the world. We could not hope to fully comprehend his teachings. Just as my maternal grandmother used to feed me raw chestnuts as a child by first chewing them herself to make them more tender, Father would explain the Principle and the Word in a way that made it easier for us to digest. Father answered all the questions put to him by naïve and childish students. Father did not have the time to fully explain the Word in detail to everyone in the world. For this reason, he instructed me to spread his Word throughout the world without holding anything back, just as he had once done for us early members.  ____________________ A Testimony to God’s Word, In Regard to Divine Principle For example, readers of True Father’s autobiography will learn of his trips as a boy to the sea shore to catch eels, and he was skilled at trapping wild birds. He says he loved doing it and didn’t mind running eight miles to the water. Eu explains in the chapter, “True Father Receives His Calling from God” another reason: due to the Japanese control of the farming produce, many in his village were on the edge of starvation. “During this period, people in Korea did not have much to eat. So the younger children would say to Father, ‘Older brother, I want to eat some meat. I want something sweet.’ They didn’t have anything to eat, because the Japanese people took everything,” she reports, and “He caught many birds with such traps, and the children would eat roasted bird meat to their hearts’ content.” Every chapter it seems has a gem of insight that humanizes True Father even as it illustrates the extraordinary achievement of every day of his life. Soon after True Father arrived in the United States to personally lead the movement, he got the order from God that he must meet President Richard Nixon. She writes that he had no clue how to do this and cried in tears every night, but to his family and to the church members he showed not a hint of self-doubt. As she explains: “…Father prayed with many tears. Father cried when he prayed, but he couldn’t cry in front of Mother or his children, let alone in front of the members. Why? Because Father was the hope of all hopes, Father thought about how we could follow him if we saw him shedding tears because he was worried or because he didn’t know what to do... Father told us that he told Mother, his children, and us that he was confident, but then he would turn around and shed tears. We were dumbfounded when we later learned this. At that time, the people around Father were recommending that he not meet President Nixon.” Having learned this, it casts a nuance on Father’s broad, radiant smile in the photo of him shaking hands with President Nixon early in 1974. Mrs. Eu expands on the notion some have heard at seminars that God experiences life through the bodies of people who are aligned with his ideas. As she explains: “Father once said, ‘God grows together with humans!’ What kind of amazing thought is this? I could not understand how a perfect being such as God grows together with humans. So I asked Father, ‘Does God really grow like a child? Christians will think we are crazy when they hear this. They keep persecuting us, because we say different things, but now you say that God grows? Then Father said, ‘God of course is perfect, but love cannot be felt unless there is a partner. You will know this if you have children. If your child is five-years old, you will have to play with your child as if you are a five-year-old as well.’” We learn that True Father had to struggle with all the emotions that we feel in the course of life. He had to force himself to forgive Kim Il Sung of North Korea before meeting him at the historic reunion in December His attitude is recounted by Mrs Eu this way: “Before Father went to North Korea to meet Kim, he went to Hawaii to offer Heaven the last prayer so he could overcome his hatred for Kim. ‘I can’t hate him even if the whole world hates him and accuses him of being a murderer. If I hate him, too, he cannot be saved. Then what kind of heart will I have to have when I see him? Yes, I will go there as his father who gave birth to him. People might say, ‘Kim Il Sung is a murderer, execute him, shoot him,’ but if his father were there, he  would still say with the heart of a father, ‘My son is a bad person, but I still want him in front of me. ’ Kim Il Sung’s father would do anything to save his son’s life. I will go with that kind of heart.” She concludes that the trust created at that meeting in 1991 was possible only because Kim could feel Father’s sincere love. Mrs. Eu concludes her book with a discussion of the meaning of the words, “Hoondok,” and her prediction that our movement is entering an age of Hoondok in which the leaders who continually read True Father’s words will gain ascendance over those who do not. In her book’s promotional tour through cities on the East Coast she has been referencing what she refers to as a Hoondok revolution that has been gaining momentum in Southeast Asia for two years. This book is bound to have great impact in the circles of serious devotional practice of our movement. Without question this is the book of the year. Make that book of the decade.

39 Quote: 1964/65 Spirit World Anthony Brooke: Can you say how near we are to such a breakthrough of universal truth? Fletcher: You are in the process now. But before Jesus became manifest there were people who had been prepared - John the Baptist came prepared.

40 You who read this – become that respons-able man/women!
But the world has grown and multiplied – the means of communication have become simpler and easier.   (Comment: said years before Internet, Facebook, Twitter, vimeo, youtube…) It takes not one man in a little country to be a John the Baptist, but many men in many countries to herald the coming. Source: You who read this – become that respons-able man/women! Spread the Good News – Divine Principle – The Holy Blessing

41 2016 DP & Wittgenstein, Moltmann, Shakespeare, DP & Dostoyevsky, Schleiermacher, Frankl… and more coming. Divine Principle is eternal Truth abouth Human existence and its Laws. Therefore similarities are more or less easily traced in all the World Litterature.

42 2016 By tracing silmilar or nearby concepts to Divine Principle explanation, and digging into older UC-texts from Garys Flaishers UC-goldmine ”tparents.org” it is possible to put together a nice mosaic of supporting Texts.
