Do we recognize our Heavenly Father’s loving guidance? Part 8

Today – as I am writing this instalment – is March 17, 2011. I opened the member section of this web site and looked into the Leader boards where my article “Unite and restore the lost heart of brothers and sisters” right under True Father’s speech is the Top Content column just as well as in the Top Blog posts, indicating that my reflection is presently the most read and commented among all the contributions on this site – two weeks after it was posted there.

The day before yesterday I was still a banned member of this meeting place for Unificationists where some 2600 brothers and sisters meet to share with one another.

How does this fit together? The most read and most commented on member was banned from this community! Based on letters sent by various brothers and sisters the ones responsible for my expulsion saw that they cannot hold onto such a contradictory situation and therefore opened the door for me again – without telling me. I found out about having been allowed back on when I received the notice that my letter that I had sent to this e-group, on the 10th of this month was finally accepted.

It was the letter advocating, “If we become brothers and sisters we can break down all barriers” that met the barrier set up by “moderators” to block me out of that Meeting House for sharing one’s Heart and Love. The outreach to break down walls was blocked!

Do you really think that all of this came about by chance? The letter addressing the core problem – our having lost the Heart of brothers and sisters and needing to restore it, which became one of the most commented-on articles in one of the largest meeting place for international Unificationists in the worldwide net.

Why is it that the person who is considered a liar, becomes the number one favourite – most read and most commented on - of Unificationists throughout the world who joined the iUnificationist home? Are they so interested in lies or is it because what is written touches their hearts? The answer is obvious, and still I am considered, officially, the bad guy, about whom some members continued to discuss even though they knew that I was kicked out and could not defend myself from whatever was said about me.

And what happened when others spoke out in defence of their brother? There were also accused themselves of being a member of “Mr. Beutl and group” as it was called, but in reality such a thing does not exist at all. Again a fabrication in a person’s mind that is being spread so that in the end everybody believes that there is indeed real danger…

We know it is one of the tactics of evil to spread fear to influence people, and still so many of us fall prey to such a spirit and repeat what others say, gossiping on and on, until it is general

knowledge that “Mr. Beutl is the bad guy”. This is what has become a reality in our church not only in respect to brother Nikolaus, as an example, but in essence showing how far away we generally are from living up to the standard our True Parents have been teaching us.

Among the content that was brought forth to spread the worst possible portrayal of brother Nikolaus was the statement that I wanted “to appoint brothers and sisters of some positions because he was being told or inspired by the spirit world.” Never in my life did I say to somebody that I was told by the spirit world because nobody spoke to me directly from the other world. I am not a medium and do not receive special revelations and still people talk in such terms about me, warning others against Mr. Beutl or however they may call me.

The brother who stood up in my defence commented in response to one person: “In the post that you quote, Nikolaus concludes with, ‘… during the past 7 years since our Heavenly Father has shown me that I should concentrate on supporting our own members rather than witnessing to outside people.’

It is clear that Nikolaus is working on inspiration that he received from Heavenly Father, not authority granted by the church. I cannot make any pronouncements about inspirations that people feel they receive in relation with our Heavenly Parent.”

Because the sister who started accusing me on iUnificationist spoke about me “degrading the position of our True Mother by accusing True Mother of not fulfilling her true role as the True Mother because of not taking care the cyberspace members” this brother wrote: “No, I have not seen any lies by Nikolaus about the Continental Directors or True Mother. He tells things and his experiences from his perspective as he understands them. And I think he puts a lot of thought and heart into what he writes. I think he is doing the best he knows how to practice the 8 points of the Family Pledge centering on true love. But like the rest of us, he falls short of fulfilling them.

As Hyung Jin Nim has been teaching and showing, there is need for humility and repentance in each of us. In accord with TF’s motto for this year, as we strive to practice the way of true love, everything false will fall away and disappear. Your brother,…”

For members of the Unification church who love True Mother dearly it is of course one of the “worst things” to degrade True Mother but what is the truth of the matter? Those who are ready to face facts could learn it in the letter that was sent by the representative of the Women Federation for World Peace in Albania. She wrote the following letter as her contribution to the discussion: “Dear Brothers and Sisters!

I know personally Mr Beutl. From my personal experience he is a very dedicated member. He stayed in our witnessing team in Poland some years ago. Everyday he worked very hard and brought some good guests in, supported our team leader, national leader and members. I never saw him create disunity, on the opposite, he was always trying to bring people closer in heart.

He was the only person who supported me when I received a mission directly from True Mother to be WFWP representative in Albania and because of that I have a lot of respect for him.

Yes, I know that he is controversial to some people and I also don’t always agree with all his viewpoints but I think he is truly a sincere person.

From what I saw in the discussion below, it was not at all about his words expressed on the forum but about some gossips and allegations or interpretations of past facts and it does not seem to me to be right to ban a person from this forum based on that. It would rather be reasonable to follow certain rules here and agree to ban a person if his/her words as expressed here are openly offensive to anyone or openly against the purpose of this site, which is as I believe sharing between UC brothers and sisters focused on DP, Blessed Family life, etc. I would see it reasonable that if somebody does not agree with any previous words/opinions of brother Beutl to contact him personally and discuss the matters. After all, we are a family and in every family there are and will be different opinions and viewpoints.

Let’s be mature and embrace each other in all our diversity. If anybody thinks Brother Beutl has made a mistake somewhere or expressed a wrong opinion, why not approach him personally with a parental heart? I believe there are different ways of settling differences of opinions than anger and cutting people off. How are we going to save the whole evil world if we are cutting off our own brothers and sisters?

Besides, there are some good points in Brother Beutl’s sharings I believe.” What did this national representative of Women Federation for World Peace write about brother Nikolaus? “He was the only person who supported me when I received a mission directly from True Mother to be WFWP representative in Albania…” Imagine, the mission was directly given by True Parents and nobody supported it! I rarely use exclamation marks but in this case it is really appropriate. The only person who supported the sister appointed by True Mother directly was Mr. Beutl who supposedly degrades True Mother - while in reality I stood up in defence for her direction, supporting the sister whom she appointed.

Why was I the only person who supported this sister in her new mission? Because this sister was living in Poland, as an exemplary member, and they did not want to see her leave for Albania to take responsibility for the Women Federation for World Peace in that far away nation on the other end of Europe so to speak. Finally the truth is coming out:

While I am accused of not uniting with leaders it is leaders themselves who have problems with uniting with the directions coming from the True Parents while brother Nikolaus is very dedicated to support the desire of True Father and True Mother.

But facts do not impress the sister who began the accusations against me in the iUnificationist Meeting House. Even though she does not have any first-hand experience of working with me she responded to this letter by the WFWP representative of Albania: “That’s your opinion about Mr. Beutl and that I respect but to some others truly are contrary to what you are viewing Mr. Beutl. He’s a great controversy because there’s something wrong that need for himself to deal and clear with and those controversies weren’t just mere gossips or allegations that you are claiming here, they’re plainly true! I had talked before by phone with Mr. Beutl and many others had tried to talk and emailed him but to no avail because he doesn´t listen to anybody except himself or the spirit world who is guiding him.”

Again I am portrayed as somebody who is an object of the spirit world, listening only to spirits speaking to me – even though this never ever happened in my life. Any kind of contrived fantasy is good enough to defame and degrade brother Nikolaus. This person says that she respects what the WFWP representative who was appointed directly by True Mother says while in reality she does not take it into serious consideration at all but sticks to her own beliefs. It is obvious that she is the one who does not listen to other people – exactly what she is accusing Mr. Beutl of doing.

In her message she wrote: “I am angry with the continued lies and distortion of the truth he were and are continuously telling through his writings and this I never encountered in the meeting house since for the long time that I am here, only now, only in the person of Mr. Beutl. Same thing happened in other egroups too that caused him to be banned.”

Because all relevant quotations are recorded in the e-book Sunshine in the Heart www.sunshine-in-the-heart.com and can be checked any time with the original material that is stored on the servers to which the various internet groups belong, it is unmistakably proven that this sister is once again spreading direct lies about whom she calls Mr. Beutl, because I was not banned based on the allegation that I am a liar as this person claims.

She wrote that I am continuously lying and distorting the truth in my writings on iUnificationist but has any example been given? Of course not. Because there are no lies in my articles that were posted on this website. And still this person who continued to spread lies about her brother, doing an unfortunately good job of character assassination, was praised while Mr. Beutl was kicked out of the Meeting House for international Unificationists. When will we all learn to distinguish clearly what is truth and what is hearsay, and not allow gossip to dominate our emotions and decisions?
