Chapter 2 of "As a Peace Loving Global Citizen"

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.

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) and, I believe, these are absolute.

So began a journey that opened up the teaching of Rev Moon to an understanding where I came to realize that I am a Christian, Jesus IS the Messiah (as opposed to was the Messiah) and a complete reappraisal of this teaching which is what I want to share through this means.

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 . . .
