AudioBook together with PDF of "As a Peace Loving Global Citizen"

4/11/2026

As the title states this audiobook is complete and the 'Zip' file also contains the PDF that actually aligns with the print copy. I have yet to check it though and will share the result of that next weekend. This is the picture that I want to use for the cover and comes from the pocket size edition published in 2011.

Having listened to this book several times over in putting this audiobook together over the last 8 weeks I've come to appreciate it much more. It contains very good advice and a check for our motivation in doing anything in our life. Are we doing it for the sake of ourselves, or for something greater than ourselves.

The audiobook is, as always, both on the 'AudioBooks download' page as well as the 'Resources' page. The pink (+ve) background button is the male voice option; and the blue (-ve) background button is the female voice option.

I hope that you'll try some of the Chapter segments as from this you will be able to effectively evaluate Reverend Sun Myung Moon and see (for yourself) whether his claim to be the 3rd Adam is potentially valid or not.

The 3rd Adam's goals in essence were to give re-birth that is physical as well as spiritual; and to speak plainly (and abundantly) about our Heavenly Father God such that mankind's fundamental ignorance about very basic issues can be ended. The 3rd Adam is, of course, also known as the Lord of the 2nd Advent. (2nd coming of Messiah, Christ)

The term Messiah has the tendency to evoke preconceived ideas. For this reason I really like the idea of "True Parents" that Reverend Moon introduced to elucidate what God was striving to accomplish through the history of restoration from the terrible event of the 'Fall of Man.' The first human ancestors should have become true parents, but they became, through the fall 'false parents.' Jesus and the Holy Spirit could give spiritual rebirth only (since Jesus could only regain his position after the crucifixion and resurrection) - hence they were the spiritual true parents.

So, the restoration period of history concluded with the reinstatement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, God's substantial self that was lost because of the 'Fall of Man;' and, as a result of that we are in a new era - the Era of 4th Adam.

But, don't take my word for it. Do your own research. After all, since we're made in the image of God we should be able to own the truth.

Wishing you a good week.

Happy Easter! He is Risen!!!

4/5/2026

As of writing, today is Easter Sunday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. So, I wanted to give a present for You! It's a reading of the last part of Chapter 8, "As a Peace Loving Global Citizen," from TP S M Moon entitled "Dreaming of a Peaceful World."

Last month it was possible to link an mp3 and it would play on your device. But, this month it doesn't work. But, maybe it later will - so the image is a link for that. In the meantime, however, I put a male voice and female voice readings in a 'Zip' file (of this last part of chapter 8) so you can download it and try them out. Here is the LINK to that. (4.4 MB)

In this part he speaks about his idea to make an International Peace Highway; and this is where the image heading this blog comes from. The idea to make the world interconnected through this highway in a similar way that the blood vessels function in a body. It will then be possible to travel by car from Africa's Cape of Good Hope to Santiago, Chile; and from London to New York.

He also shares his idea to reform and renew the United Nations so that it can become effective and relevant again. Going against the old idea of division between church and state by making the UN bicameral - adding a religious element akin to the mind, to work with the existing part which is more external (like the body).

But, one way or another, you'll be able to hear or read this for yourself and evaluate it. I was inspired to see that his idea of the Bering Straight King Bridge/Tunnel is gaining traction, and may even be built in my lifetime! (i am quite old, at 75)

In his Easter message President Trump declared that to have a great country you need religion, and you also need God. That doesn't sound like division between church and state. But then, President Trump is not an ordinary guy. It seems that the USA is coming to alignment with the original spirit that brought it into being. That's got to be a good thing. I hope it will continue.

Wishing you a good week.

Global Harmony Starts on the Korean Peninsula (from Chapter 7 of "As a Peace Loving Global Citizen" TP S M Moon

4/4/2026

This is an interesting topic from the viewpoint of a religious leader. The picture is linked to the mp3 file reading this part of Ch7 - 10m:29s long.

The whole of Chapter 7 is under the heading: Future of Korea, Future of the World. The 'Zip' file containing the tagged mp3 with the associated artwork from the printed copy of the book is on the AudioBook download page, and the Resources page.

As you can imagine, from one who declared publicly that he was the True Parent of Heaven, Earth and Humankind - God's Substantial Self; the content of this book is thoughtful and insightful.

I'm hoping that by making this autobiography more accessible that it will help people to connect with these ideas and help to think about life in a more public way.

This is Easter Saturday. The big day is tomorrow. I was very impressed with the Easter message from the USA President when he declared that; to be a great nation, you must have religion, and you must have God. And he called the resurrection of Jesus, the most glorious miracle of all time.

Have a Blessed Easter and a very good week.

See you next week with the whole of "As a Peace Loving Global Citizen" in its entirety, together with the PDF that aligns with the printed book.

The story behind this significant meeting

3/27/2026

The picture has been made into a link so you can hear this chapter read by a Speechelo voice, Andrew USA. 12:21 min.

This picture hanging over our front door shows the successful conclusion of TP Moon's visit to Moscow in April of 1990. At the time I was thinking that this campaign in Moscow would be more confrontational, like the campaign we did in France to support Jean-Marie Le Pen.

It was achieved though, by his attending the World Media Conference that was taking place that year in Moscow and President Gorbachev surprisingly extended an invitation following his keynote address at the conference. He thought that President Gorbachev may have heard reports of TP Moon's expressions of concern regarding the President's future. A state limousine was provided and the motorcade traveled on the yellow section of the road normally reserved for the President and state guests. This all happened before the collapse of the Soviet Union. It was an exceptional treatment afforded to the World's foremost anti-communist, by the Soviet Government.

The events we're living through right now had their foundations made through the love and concern that was shown during these times by TP Moon. Shortly after this he met one on one with President Kim Il Sung of North Korea and was able to make a big change in the perception of those standing on opposite sides of the 38th parallel and in diffusing brewing potential hostilities.

All this is described in Chapter 6 of Rev. Moon's autobiography: "As a Peace Loving Global Citizen" and this will be uploaded tomorrow. I am planning to have the whole book ready as an AudioBook before the middle of next month together with a PDF copy that aligns with the actual book; containing the map shown after the Foreword, as well as the "Photos of My Life."

TP Moon did publicly declare that they were the True Parents of Heaven Earth and Humankind in the 1990s World-wide public speaking tours. If this is indeed true then it means that he is the Lord of the 2nd Advent (from the Christian pov). So this autobiography is destined to become the most studied and most read of all time.

The best things in life should be free (air, water, sunlight, for example) and they should also be respected and appreciated too. We're living in a pretty awesome time right now and I keep wondering how many other people are thinking this way.

Well, we shall see, won't we...

Have a lovely week.

The True Meaning of Marriage

3/20/2026

The picture is linked to a new voice (Alfie) reading the 7th segment of Chapter 5 of "As a Peace Loving Global Citizen" with the title: "The True Meaning of Marriage."

While listening to it as I was making Chapter 5 available this week I thought this contains such excellent advice that anyone could benefit from connecting with these ideas. I also realized that this is not, at all, a religious book. And, to go further, I think that religion has finally come across its 'sell-by-date.'

We will see. Already this year of 2026 has exceeded my expectations and I think there will be many evidences of the emerging kingdom of heaven during this year; which is akin to the idea of a "Cosmic Spring."

Anyways, there are many more voices to check out reading this chapter segment and I want to make a poll to see which one could be considered better than the one I'm currently using. But, I intend to finish the book with the voices I'm using already and make additional alternatives available after that is completed. The final file will also contain the PDF that aligns with the printed copy as well as the photos and map.

Here are the other voices:

Alfie Andrew Brittany Cooper

Derek Jimmy Lucas

Also to reiterate that Chapter 5 is now available on the Resources page, as well as the AudioBook downloads page.

Thanks. Have a good week.

I have My Own Personal Proof, How About You

3/14/2026

The picture is linked to Chapter 4, Section 10 mp3 file, "Shed Tears for the World, Not for Me"
For the female voice version link - here

I had my own personal proof that it is the veritable Last Days in 2024. The Jehovah Witnesses (Whom I would buy a car from!) had visited our house and we'd had a serious discussion that lasted for more than an hour. And they never came again! This morning I found they'd dropt a leaflet by our door and it reminded me.

2025 was an astonishing year and I was looking forward to this year even then; but I'm guessing there must be many more people who're thinking: this sure looks like the Last Days! The Last Days of the evil ways of doing things; and the dismantling and unraveling of the small "g" god of this world.

For our morning study we read this: “I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not know him, but did to him whatever they pleased. . . .” Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist. (Matt. 17:12-13)

Nevertheless, John the Baptist did not recognize himself to be the second coming of Elijah,(Jn.1:21) and neither did the Jewish people. John’s ignorance reinforced his doubts about Jesus.(Matt. 11:3) Since many Jewish people esteemed John the Baptist, they respected John’s point of view. This exacerbated their disbelief in Jesus. John’s ignorance was a major factor in compelling Jesus to go the way of the cross.

This reminded me of the huge problems this caused when evangelisation started in America; and both Christians and Jews regarded Rev. Moon as an enemy - as described in Chapter 4 of "As a Peace Loving Global Citizen" that I'm making into an audio book. It is in the 10th section of Chapter 4 btw.

I have made the picture from the JW leaflet into a link for the mp3 of the "Shed Tears for the World, Not for Me;" section 10 of Chapter 4 so you can hear it for yourself. It is just short of 5 minutes - the male voice version.

Just as there are astonishing levels of fake news that are, by default, on a mobile phone. So too are the lingering results of expert appraisals regarding the thought and teachings of Rev. Moon. The purpose of this web-site is to give you the opportunity to hear for yourself directly. I am certainly re-appreciating this Auto-biography by making it into an audio book. And, as a by-product (collateral benefit!) to provide an on-line version that will align with the printed copy of this book.

You can find links to PDFs and Audio books on the "Resources" page as well as the "AudioBooks download" page. There are some on the "Home" page too under the classification, 'necessary reading to get up to speed.' If Rev. Moon is really the Lord of the Second Advent, aka, "The True Parent of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, God's Substantial Self," then his autobiography should make for interesting reading.

As people get to acquire more spare money (less taxation etc) and more free time, then there should be more tendency generated to check this out. Then, for sure, websites like this one will become sources that will be useful and sought after. I'm looking forward to that. When Elijah complained to God that he was the only one left, God revealed to him that there were 7,000 who had not bent the knee to Baal. There is a similar kind of number today, with several orders of higher magnitude. So I am not concerned with my Father McKenzie treatment, at all.

Have a lovely week. Hoping to accomplish the completion of Chapter 5 by next w/e.

"As A Peace Loving Global Citizen" AudioBook Chapter Three now available.

3/7/2026

This is what it looks like on the AudioBook page and the Resources page. I made the links live on the image and buttons above to download the 'Zip' folder containing the mp3 files that have been tagged with Chapter and section names as well as the cover artwork from the printed book of TF Sun Myung Moon's autobiography that was published in 2010.

The download would have become more than 250 Mega Bytes by putting the voices together so they are now separated into two separate audiobooks. Once the 8th (last) chapter is completed I'll check the PDF and then put that together in the 'Zipped' folder so you can also read a PDF version of the Book that aligns with the printed copy.

When people first came across this 'New Truth' they regarded it as original, logical and systematic. It was only when people left their accustomed church to join the "Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity" (originally to be simply a church with no declared denomination) that allegations of 'pseudo' religion, and 'heretical' were made against this teaching. Even though this autobiography doesn't actually deal with the theology it is interesting to read, in his own words, his experiences as he tried to share the things he learnt from his encounter with Jesus and from his prayers to our Heavenly Father, God.

Even though some theological "experts" have condemned his teaching it is worth remembering that Jesus himself had a really hard time with the then chosen people of his day. If understanding the Holy Bible were really a simple matter then, logically, there wouldn't be several hundred different denominations, now would there?

I think we're in the veritable 'Last Days' right now; so it would surely be a good thing to recognize and align with the one whom God is expressing Himself through for our time. Sun Myung Moon is a good candidate, and is certainly worthy of some of our time. This autobiography could be a good start to evaluating that. The male voice "Foreword" is 6 minutes and 2 seconds; the female voice takes a little longer at 6 minutes and 24 seconds.

Thanks...

Chapter 2 of "As a Peace Loving Global Citizen"

2/28/2026

Here are the images (which are also links btw) to look for on the "Resources", and the "AudioBook Download" pages, so as to get your copy of Chapters 1 & 2 (including the Foreword) spoken with a choice of masculine or feminine Speechelo AI voices. The download is a 'Zip' file containing mp3 audio files that are named and tagged to show up in your music player; with the artwork from the original cover of the 2010 printed book.

The text has been changed from the PDF copies normally available on-line, to align with the actual printed book. You can be the judge of how important this is. Once I've made all the text to speech mp3 files I want to include the PDF files that align with the print copy of the book included in the 'Zip' file.

I'll be doing this right at the end so that I can listen to all the mp3 files that were checked before I uploaded them. And do the whole thing over again in reverse to check the PDF files align with the audio. Through this, I am really able to get into this very illuminating book.

As I mentioned in an earlier blog, very few Christians have seriously engaged with the accounts shared by TP Sun Myung Moon in this autobiography, not to mention the basic teachings. The most significant one being that Rev. Moon did not decide to become the Lord of the 2nd Advent all by himself, but was given the mission by Jesus Christ, no less, This is related in the 1st section of Chapter 2. I wanted to get the artwork depicting this from Jan Parker, who was the artist in the UK, responsible for the "New Tomorrow" magazine covers.

But I can't find a nice copy of that yet, so the AI made a suggestion. And, here it is:

I told it, that's too quiet! and so it came up with the one that I liked much more, and used on the introduction to the first section of Chapter 2; that described the encounter with Jesus, when Sun Myung Moon had just turned 16.

It will be nice when people can give more time to their own research, rather than relying on "experts". One of the most basic ones is to at least engage with original material, in this case from Sun Myung Moon himself (His autobiography). Through reading it, or listening to an audiobook! From hearing the account of this story you should, at least, be able to get a good idea if this is likely real, or some kind of fabrication.

My motivation in offering these, is to make the source materials accessible and accurate. Hoping you'll make the time to engage with them and evaluate them for yourself. There's nothing quite like 'being there'.

P.S. new mini AudioBook on "resources" page: Elucidating Christology. A 'must' for any serious person!

This is what it looks like. And, the links are live.

Between Fear & Inspiration

2/23/2026

This is a suggested image from my AI for the first section of Chapter 2 of the AudioBook "As A Peace-Loving Global Citizen" that it helped me prepare. This picture can be a link for the mp3 of this title.

Chapter 2 "My Heart Flows with a River of Tears" and the first section (of 12) being called, "Between Fear and Inspiration."

This book shares the deep connection between Sun Myung Moon with Jesus Christ. Even at this late hour, Christian leaders have not faced the fact that Reverend Moon's lifelong ministry began not of his own doing but by the personal call of their own Lord; Jesus Christ. It was Jesus himself, not an angel or passed-away saint, who called the Reverend Moon early in his life. And the call was not that the young man serve as an evangelist, or a theologian, or a missionary. Jesus called him to complete the messianic mission on the earth, that is, to inherit Jesus' own earthly mission which was cut short at the cross.
This chapter details that first meeting and the events that led up to it. It is well worth listening to and I'm aiming to complete the whole of Chapter 2 before this month is through.

Here are the links for:
Andrew USA Speechelo and Brittany USA Speechelo for the mp3 download so you can hear it for yourself.

And, if you do; you can check how it closely aligns with the actual printed book! And, if only have access to a PDF version you will be able to accurately gauge the extent of the deviation. One collateral benefit of doing this is that I'll eventually be able to offer a PDF file that is in close alignment with the printed version from 2010.

Have a lovely week. Thanks.

Free AudioBook!!!

2/21/2026

,'Even though there are 2 versions of this currently available, I'm in the process of making a 3rd. One good collateral benefit of doing this will be to make available a PDF of this noteworthy book that aligns with the actual printed copy. As far as I know, that will be a first.

I intend to include that in the 'zip' file once I've completed it. There are quite significant differences between the currently available PDFs and the actual book.

I also signed up to an AI to help me prepare the text for the 'text to speech' software I'm currently using. My patient rebuffs to unwanted additions or summaries are gaining traction with this AI. But, anyway, I'm checking each one several times by listening to them with reference to the book, making necessary corrections.

In my previous blog I put a link to the version read by Henry Masters. In this blog the picture will be the link to my 1st chapter which contains 8 sections with title tags/ artwork etc. There is even the foreword. It has a choice of two USA English accent voices; male-Andrew & female-Brittany. At the moment the options are available in the one download, but it may end up as two separate versions later.

In the book TP Moon states that one of the schools he attended forbade the use and teaching of Japanese as the School head was a member of the resistance when Korea was under control of Japan. But TP Moon had a different viewpoint and thought you had to understand your enemy in order to defeat them.

With this in mind current day Christians should be very curious about one who claims to be the 2nd Advent. The 1st section of Chapter 2 describes how he was confronted by Jesus when he was praying on a mountain in the early morning of Easter when a teenager. But that won't be available until next week.

Looking forward to then. Thanks.

Author

I came to Christ through the Lord at His Second Coming. I have been connected with what some would regard as a ‘New Age cult’ for almost 50 years. I want, through this website, to share what I’ve come to understand, and show that it stands up to scrutiny, and criticism.

Until quite recently I had regarded Christians as the enemy of the Lord of the Second Advent! But then, through Rev. Moon’s successor, Hyung Jin Moon, after his ‘Breaking the Silence’ (2015 January) where he emphasized the Bible (KJV) and spoke almost exclusively of Jesus, grace and faith I decided to connect with a Christian church (Belmont Church in Harrow, London, UK) to find out about these aspects of faith and grace which I had no idea about.

My strength was the words of truth, as I saw it, that were contained in the ‘Exposition of the Divine Principle’. This is the basic teaching of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon that, for me, made sense of the Bible.

That Hyung Jin Moon (aka Sean Moon) has since become irrelevant is regrettable but should not become a stumbling block. The 8 Great Sacred Texts (available on the Resources page) constitute the New Age Truth that we need to connect with (from the Lord of the Second Coming) even to studying them in the spirit world!

OK; there are abridged explanations and sudden conclusions already but I will deal with those if you write to me; let us reason together - and test all things and hold fast to what is good! Also a lot of these can be overcome by reading, "The Exposition of the Divine Principle". (link for the "red" EotDP AudioBook)

Thanks for engaging with this and I hope to hear from you so that we can share together as brothers and sisters in Christ and arrive at an understanding of the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven that is more to do with 1 Corinthians 3:16 than John 3:16 Thank You for visiting this website.

Let us reason together . . .
