Amnesia

Nick Bikkal Our history is far deeper, wider & sorrower than the 6000 providential years the religious world has been teaching. Evidence of human life goes back at least a few hundreds of thousands of yearsi, i.e., far more than even Darwinist theory postulates. On their birthday in 1985 True Parents said ‘Scientifically it is closer to many millions of years’ii.

At the same time we find remains of hunter-gatherer humanoids from the same general time period of hundreds of thousands of years ago, we also find remnants of high technology used in that general time frame or earlier. In a cave, what looks like a wheel was discovered in the Ukraine dating as far back as hundreds of millions of yearsiii. Other extremely ancient artifacts have also been found in other parts of the world.

We know that technology development takes time to grow. It takes time for human creativity to develop; it takes trial and error to perfect ideas, etc. This is all part of the process.

Until recent centuries man had mainly religion to base history on. Religion came from long ago myths. Around the world we had many societies with many myths, alas some were passed down orally so archeologist and historians do not take them seriously. Our Judeo-Christian culture was no exception. Very parallel stories to the first Bible books can be read in Sumerian writings which predate these books. God molded these myths, evolving into today’s religions. All important was that His children see His hand in history. Some stories have similar storiesiv, etc. Some Bible symbolism has roots in the Sumerian Culture. In fact, there’s so much symbolism, we don’t know where it ends and reality starts.

An interesting angle of the early Bible books is that it seemed that from the beginning moral statements were alluded in them. As far back as Enoch we can see there were stories, starting at chapter 6 of his first book, of immorality. More specifically, gods of the people of Sumer defiled women, descendants of the very beings they created. These women, daughters of men, accepted the advances led by a group of gods. Had it been rape, God wouldn’t have blamed woman.

iv Mesopotamian texts.

It’s interesting to note that it was perceived that there was a problem of illicit sex in the fruits of their creation. It was as if they noticed that this sex with their creation was a defiling. What moral acumen existed at the outset of providential history! In religion we call it the Fall of man. I see this as the physical Fall. Later I’ll explain my view on the spiritual fall.

In Sumerian writings, the gods, the Anunnaki / Nephilimv, created the Adamu as slave labor. Could this have been a perversion of a directive, a wish Heavenly Parent had, which He passed down to the Anunnaki / Nephilim? This creation that God requested was of a special race, God’s chosen people. One could argue this creation was a cause of jealousy among our creators. Historically, God’s chosen people were to be protected from defilement; we were to keep the purity of lineage. The 200 women Enoch spoke about in his book was made into a simpler version in the Bible as the Adam & Eve story.

There’s an urgency in writing this paper. True Mother has proclaimed the end of religionvi. This carries a lot of implications. True Father said he believed in sciencevii, i.e., God does not work magic. Much non hard science to date has been filled with speculation. What we were taught in our younger days have turned out to be quasi lies or disinformation. Ethnocentric culture has dominated our classrooms; few hard facts backed this education. So as to not rub religion the wrong way, scientifically backed education took a back seat to ideology or faith-based education. Science did not rock religion’s boat. His paper aims to satisfy the soul, the heart along with the intellect.

In this light True Parents said religion was not realistic, isolated from reality. It didn’t offer useful knowledge or practical solutions, adding ‘God must be integral to His creation’viii.

The Internet has played a major role in breaking down false claims. No longer do university halls hold the claim to ultimate knowledge or the final word; quite the opposite, amateur social scientists, using the aid of the same tools as the professors at top universities, have disproven old theories and have given rise to new ones, based on scientific hard facts and evidence. These logical and curious discoveries and theories appeal to the intellectually acute. They’re in harmony with what they perceive with intellectual logic. After all, if there’s a God, He’s a God of logic as well as of religion. Is our God inconsistent?

The third blessing requires harmonious O-D-U. What we learnt because we were brought up v Anunnaki / Nephilim is use interchangeably. The Bible uses the term Nephilim; the Anunnaki is used by the Sumerians. vi ‘I know that what hurts God’s Heart more than anything else are the religious conflicts that take place in His name. Without fail, we will end them.’ ‘Mother of Peace’ biography. vii http://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon84/840527.htm.

in a religious environment no longer holds true to the 21st century scientific logical mind.

To keep our world in harmony we need logical, culture- and ethnic-free, moral knowledge. No one questions the STEM subjects, science, technology, engineering & math, because it holds true and appeals to all minds regardless of ethnicity, race, religion, nationality, thousands of years in the past or in the future.

It is the social sciences which now need reforming centering on heart, Heavenly Parent’s Heart. What is true? What do we accept? It’s scary since we must throw away knowledge we have until now lived by, and must adopt new wisdom.

Why are we here and how did we get here? We must go inside a world which isn’t permitted in this scientific world, and find logic and meaning. We’ll find it in the logic of the heart, in God’s purpose of creation. It’s very unappetizing to people who demand proof, visible, repeatable evidence.

Future knowledge, far from moral-free, will have to be guided by a logic residing outside our reach to manipulate. It’ll be the logic of God’s Heart and our purpose, as His children, to grow closer to Him.

Either we accept all of True Parents words or not. We cannot pick and choose what we like and discard the rest. Again, this requires shedding old beliefs or disbeliefs based simply on tradition. Not appetizing. True Parents came to set the record straight; that means both internally & externally.

The same God that made religion made science. Heavenly Father depends on humans for everything creation-related, other than His children. Why would God create anything if His children were made with the wherewithal to do so? Creation has no heart with which God can have give & take (receive) with for development and growth. We are God’s body. Most of His children are now disembodied and live in spirit only.

God does not get involved with creating other than His children. It is His children who do. He inspires, gives revelations, visions, dreams, then blesses the fruits of our creative labor. Our creativity is God working from within us, His children, His body. Here He creates. God guides us. He started small then grew. Some children led discoveries, some copied and reformed. Personalities came out in their creations. The more we credit God, the more we distance ourselves from Him as unreachable, same as with True Parents. This also make us less respectful of ourselves. Now we’re led to think out of the box. Achieving CheonBo has the purpose of coming close to Heavenly Parents.

Those of us who came to earth at a time before True Parents, and had a mission, are now called to finish it. This is the returning resurrection. These spirits work with spiritually open

people. They bring knowledge, wisdom, insights, spiritual powerix, etc.

In 1983 Father asked that each State have at least 3 spiritual peoplex. They are the power behind witnessing. The Principle states that during restoration, we with a physical body on earth are in the subject position. I.E., we have to analyze information using the Principle we learnt, and then judge the messages being channeled to us, based on heart logic. In the past, social sciences were not centered on Heavenly Father’s Heart. We are entering a world where what we thought was true, really isn’t.

Were humans genetically engineered? Lots of knowledge existed many thousands of years ago. Beside the famed Egyptian pyramids, megaliths exist on all continents which defy construction based on the science & technology that we are told existed in those areas at that given time.

Many of the megaliths worldwide have similar decor and structure. Features include designs of animals that science claims died some 65 millions years agoxi. How could more recent creators of this art know them? In Ica, Peruxii, we have a few thousand stones with depictions of humans with dinosaurs, and others with designs of the world continents, etc. Could creators with the little knowledge we credit them to have had, know this?

The tools existing several thousands of years ago among natives around the world are not strong enough to work with the stones the megalith structures are made of. Quarries and transportation logistics to move these stones also require advanced engineering knowledge.

The different ancient civilizations from around the world have stories that their makers, gods, came from far away planets or stars in different constellations. Their gods were seemingly each different beings. Were these beings, going by whatever names, also God’s children?

Precision instruments are required to bore holes and carve shapes as are found in stones around the Egyptian pyramids, the Door of the Sun in Bolivia (Puerta del Sol), and other lands. These pyramids are almost perfectly aligned north-south, an amazing achievement by peoples thought to not know the compass, or were working with copper tools. Perfectly symmetrical structures dating back millennia dot the earth.

Like the above, our planet is filled with incredible remains from a global civilization, or global civilizations, that existed in the past. Alas, no one has been able to accurately date it/them. Names like Atlantis, Mu and Lemuria have floated around but details remain elusive. The Piri Reís map shows the Antarctica as it is ice-free. The map was given to sea farers long before Antarctica’s existence was known to us, before Columbus. The map makers claim to have used more ancient maps and pieced them together. Precision aerial mapping was required to make them. A good map requires a compass and accurate time keeping. Accurate time keeping didn’t exist until a couple of hundred years ago.

Let me add that there’s one piece of unfinished business I’d like to bring up: giants. Around the world skeletons of giants have been found. Who were they and what role did they play in their days? Did they disappear? Did they go back to the stars our ancestors claim they said they came from, or are they still with us? A deeper understanding of our ancient world cultures and civilizations today may help shed light here. Skeletons of giants have been found all over the earth.

I’d now like to introduce another taboo topic, extraterrestrials. Governments and media today are quick to deny their existence. As if trying to avoid a major culture-based backlash, we’re being told that only a short time ago a few UFOs / UAPs were photographed for the first time. That’s what official sources would like to have us believe. In many circles we have heard of their existence since our youth. Is there an agenda?

Are beings from far away invading our earth? Is someone or are some beings ready to conquer humankind? Will they harm us? I very much doubt it. These are descendants of the very beings who were here in the past and created the ‘forget-me-not’ structures we see around our globe. If they had intended to hurt or destroy humans they would have done it then. The unanswered question is why did these enigmatic peoples disappear? Modern explorers point out that they may have been living among us until even just a few hundred years ago. Others claim they live even now among us.

As I questioned before, True Parents had the editors of The News World create a weekly supplement entitled ‘UFOs and Other Cosmic Phenomena’. Are True Parents teasing us or are they trying to get people to see something people refuse to acknowledge? Father says ‘Father is a very serious man’xiii. Why their interest in these phenomena? “Whatever Father does, he does for a reason, and you leaders should have figured out the reasonxiv”. He added, “..Spirit world told people to come to the centerxv” rather than members go out witnessing. True Parents want people to be more spiritually sensitive and work with spirit world.

True Parents did nothing that had no providential restoration significance. Our brother Hal McKenzie wrote a book, Cosmic Politics, that was never published but can be found on the Internetxvi. He was in charge of editing the weekly The News World supplement that True Parents had us publish, ‘UFOs and Other Cosmic Phenomena’. Why would a serious True Parents-backed daily publish such a supplement? What are True Parents hinting?

Creative act requires love Principle states that creativity is a dedication of love. When we create something, be it raising our children, making a meal for the family, designing a home or a large structure, lots of creativity is required, i.e., love. A look at our smartphone will show us how much dedication by literally thousands and millions of people is required to make it work the way that is most convenient for us. This dedication is what the Principle calls love. It took love to create and it takes love to maintain. We really are surrounded by love and its fruits.

Creativity is arguably the greatest gift Heavenly Father gave us, His children. All the qualities endowed to humans are involved in the creative process. The more we are creative the more we resemble our Heavenly Parent including on a cosmic, world or societal level. If True Parents have worked hard all their lives it was for us, all humankind, His children to come close to God; it’s what God wants and needs most. We can share in God’s Heart. When we have children we understand what Heavenly Parent goes through with each of His children.

Amnesia When we’re given a gift we don’t take care of it as much as when we work for it. Automatically we see the blood, sweat & tears required to attain it. We are careful to maintain it. Here’s where our amnesia becomes Heavenly Parent’s heartache. We do not remember our Heavenly Parent working with our ancestors hard work. Our education bars us from learning about our roots. We attribute everything directly to God’s direct creation, He’s responsible for it. In the process we are destroying ourselves and our environment. We are not serious about our surroundings.

God has relatively little interest in all the rest of creation. Principle states that God is selfish and that He created so that He could receive love in return. Creation can’t return anything directly to God, but God only enjoys it vicariously because creation has no sensitivity to God. Humans are sensitive to God. Creation is sensitive to humans, and humans to creation; give & take (receive) between God and creation is not possible. God could not develop creation directly.

It makes sense that if humans want something, that we visualize and create it. When we buy a car or home or computer, we go and check the specs and then choose. This is why God

xvi https://www.tparents.org/Library/Unification/Talks2/McKenzie/McKenzie-091225.pdf.

gave us creativity. We choose what we want. In nature we see so much of what we call beautiful, interesting, deep, etc. Fauna and flora, with all their colors, shapes, unique qualities, etc. were creations made by humans or pre-humans, God’s children. You want it, you create it. They were made for humans to enjoy.

We make them, we’re responsible for them. We are to take care of them. With give & take (receive) with our Heavenly Parent we learn and grow. True Parents said God had to grow. The object determines the subject. The quality of the object dictates the quality of the subject. We have give & take (receive) with creation. They are not our property that we can do as we please with them, like a pet, but our children; and indeed nowadays how many people refer to their animals or gardens as their children. Same parental heart of care is given to them as to our family members. To the degree we give love, when we lose them we also feel the loss. Creation is yearning for such parental care from us.

True Parents said that God had to grow. When we study the level of heart at the start of providential history we can see Heavenly Father’s Heart had give & take (receive) with children whose hearts were brutally subdued to servant of servant levels. (Think tyrants who oppressed their people, giving themselves mythical qualities). Humans, possibly from distant stars, became gods, mythically embellished to appear superhuman. Although God yearned for a closer relationship with His children, His children were not there for Him due to satanic oppression.

At the start of providential history mankind was under Satan’s yoke at the servant of servant’s level. A close parent-child relationship didn’t or couldn’t exist. Heavenly Parent had nothing higher to have give & take (receive) with; He had no experience having a parental heart. By force of the nature of the quality of His childrens’ hearts, God didn’t know what it was like to receive filial love. This has existed for much longer than the 6000 providential years. Mankind only knew love of a servant, while Heavenly Father was in the role of master, if at all He was acknowledged. For the most part Heavenly Parent was a non-entity to early people. It has been a long painful road to finally have found True Parents.

As mentioned above, the quality of the object determines the subject. In this case the heart of humans was at servant of servant level; Heavenly Parent had to deal with His children at that level, i.e., not as filial children. We had to grow from worshipping God as our Lord to loving Him as our parent, our Heavenly Parent, which is the closest relationship there is.

On July 10, 1984 Father told us that the closest teacher to you is your own mind. Mother, in her biography, ‘Mother of Peace’, on pg 280 says ‘your heart is your closest teacher; we must ‘hone our ability to hear God’s whisper on our hearts’.

By bringing mankind up to a higher level, we are not diminishing God at all, quite the opposite is true. By raising mankind’s stature we are seeing that God creates (embodies) the

highest quality beings, His children, mankind. This has been going on for many millions of years.

I wrote a paper ‘God’s Body Creates’xvii where I look at the beauty and mystery of the world around us. Along with beauty, we see practicality. I go into questions such as the similarities of creations, yet they are unable to multiply together. I theorize that competition must have existed where different creations were made on earth or brought from outside. This made our earth rich in diversity. God had but His children in mind. Parts of different computers or cars function alike but are not interchangeable.

Cosmic Brotherhood We’re a race of amnesia. It’s strange that we cannot know where we came from, who our ancestors were. True Parents call mankind orphans. We lost our parents, our True Parents and our Heavenly Parent. However, they’ve returned.

The whole world grew independent of one another; doubting, mistrusting, fighting and aiming to conquer one another; survival. This is the heart, mind we inherited from our direct creators. What happened? Is this what God designed?

Extraterrestrials evolved from more simple, primitive existences, including all God’s prior, more elemental embodiments, i.e., pre-humans and even pre-humanoids, long ago. They had to create the environment in which to feed themselves and live in the process, and to grow. They are to unite to make larger, more complex existences. God never stops embodying. The cosmos never stops growing. God’s children grow exponentially in number. God now wants them to unite, Origin - Division - Union (O-D-U) fashion. They need to come together. Earth is the place. Korea is now Heavenly Parent’s homeland. True Parents are the beginning of this process. This is why the fulfillment of God’s perfection is in True Parents. Providentially it was Adam & Eve first, then Jesus then True Parents who came with this purpose.

In a speech Father mentioned that when we go to spirit world we will be asked ‘where are you from, which means from what planet’xviii. Father also stated that spirit world is very different from what we imagine.

Extra ideas It’s not a great leap of logic nor faith to consider that it was pre-humans who created our environment. God lives in us; He always did. Many of us have received either through revelation or vision or dream or other, an impulse to go after some dream. These dreams

xvii http://www.tparents.org/Library/Unification/Talks/Bikal/Bikkal-201231.pdf xviii http://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/SunMyungMoon84/SunMyungMoon-840501.htm

are commensurate with the world and environment in which we are living at the time the revelation occurs. This surely is our Heavenly Parent guiding us. As mentioned earlier, God has no direct need for creation but He’s helping His children create their environment for food, well-being, inspiration, etc. Horizontally, our hearts grow along with our vertical minds. Gratitude and love also grow. We come closer to God, initially in awe. God led, and His children at every step grew. Cosmically we spread, multiplied and God Has been with us. The more we created the more we resembled God, and the closer we came through acknowledgment.

However, there was a point when God’s children made a wrong turn. We left God. A cosmic family under God never formed. A vertical separation broke our connection with our Heavenly Father. It’s here where I say the spiritual Fall originally took place. Long before providential history started on this earth, God’s children were ripping each other apart. The biblical Adam & Eve were to be the beginning point of bringing the cosmos back together. If there had been no Fall long ago, cosmic mankind would have been perfected. Conversely, we made evil, wars, oppression, etc.

This and other papers are fruit of a question I have had, going back decades. Why did God, our Heavenly Parent, wait so long to create His children. Through religion we only learn of 6000 years. A classical answer was that the environment was not ready.

This study took me through many discoveries made in the last decades which have been made available thanks to the Internet, another gift from God. There’s a lot of information available here, a virtual global library. We need to ask questions, be curious. True Parents reprimanded us 40 years ago for knowing nothing because we’re not curious, ‘You Moonies are the last to know because you don’t study, you don’t investigate’, Father said in his June 1, 1983 speech, reproaching us for lack of knowledge.

If a new idea or insight appears we immediately ask where did Father say that, where did we read that. Fear permeates our unification body. Rather than receive the insight or news and ask God for confirmation, it’s easier to reject. As stated above, Father ordered leaders to have three spiritual members in their Statexix. They have witnessing power. Reading Father’s and Mother’s biographies they both tell of how much they depended on spiritual people. Alas, however, many people did fail. They wouldn’t have if they had offered up to God their new revealed information. There’s a lot of responsibility in restoration. We need to be more spiritually open.

Over the years our True Parents were hinting at realities our education closed us to. They’re the True Parents of the cosmos. restoration has just begun. A deeper level of Origin - Division - Union awaits us.
