Open letter to Unification Church Japanese HQ

The other day (12/15/2014), I sent the “Invitation to public debate” letter (shown below) to the Unification Church Japan HQ. No answer has come back to me as of yet.

Therefore, I am making this public open letter and thereby clarifying my questions one by one. I would like to ask for a response from the Unification Church leadership.

Invitation to public debate with Unification Church leadership

There must be many people who feel strange about recent statements by the Unification Church leadership, when viewed from Father’s own recorded words. I am asking for a public debate with the Unification Church leadership; who, in my opinion, are expressing different views from Father’s words.

Last September, I went to Japan and asked at that time for a debate at the church HQ but the event was disrupted. I also asked for a public debate with the church leader who came to listen to my speech in Tokyo. The leader said that he would think about it. Yet, no response has come back from him yet.

However, a few days ago, I was notified about certain writings on the church HQ homepage- “Counterargument against the criticisms from the representative of Mr. Takeru Kamiyama”. This HQ home page seems to have contained the argument against the criticisms, “About HQ’s criticism towards Mr. Kamiyama’s lecture”, written on a blog by someone who had read my lecture. This blog article was arguing against the writing and video, and was titled “The error in Mr. Kamiyama’s lecture”, by Mr. Tomohisa Outa, who represented the Unification Church and criticized me and my viewpoints.

I would think that these discussions should be strongly encouraged. Yet, the Unification Church representatives have told lies, such as “Mr. Kamiyama is keeping his silence” without contacting me; this after having objected to the public debate I had already requested. And they published other criticisms against me on the official church home page.

They never contacted me, while they stated “Mr. Kamiyama himself should respond towards the church’s official statement. If Mr. Kamiyama responds in the future, we would publish his criticisms”.

But we should think that this is a good opportunity. Let’s have a public debate by having the same number of people from both sides at the same place, where hopefully both sides can come to an agreement. I will wait for a week for a response to this suggestion.

Open letter of questions

Question #1, about True Father and True Mother

In “Counterargument against the criticisms from the representative of Mr. Takeru Kamiyama” (hereinafter called “counterargument”) by the Unification Church, it says about me as follows:

“Mr. Kamiyama can criticize True Mother because he is separating Father and Mother. He should not be able to criticize True Mother since True Father and True Mother are one.”

Furthermore, by giving the example of the betrayal of Jesus by Peter and Judas, it states essentially that I am criticizing Mother because I cannot understand Father’s heart, saying, “Those who should have understood Jesus’ heart more than anyone else disbelieved. In the same way, Mr. Kamiyama is going against True Father by not being able to understand Father’s heart, even though he lived together with Father in Yeosu.”

I have attended True Parents closely since 1972. Meanwhile, I witnessed Mother directly attending Father. She was so admirable. Especially, during the time when Father was in Danbury prison, Mother was so impressive. Father praised her and said “Mother endured really well by following me, who was in the circumstances of repeating the merciless battle (11/13/1991).”

However, Mother changed. However many times Father called her to Yeosu, she rarely came. Many times Father lamented at the Yeosu workshop site and said “Mother is not becoming one with me” and “I do not know the reason why Mother is rejecting me”. Not only I heard those words, but many of those who attended ocean workshop at that time heard such words.

On January 19, 2012 at Cheon Jeong Palace, Father said during Hoon Dok Hae, “Mother is going a path different from Father. Mother is not listening to Father and my orders to her to listen. This is more fearful than Lucifer. Those who follow such as Mother is doing are like small devils. Those guys!” Father is said to have held a ceremony, having Mother pledge absolute obedience by letting Mother stand in front of Father with four people standing behind Mother- Joon Ho Seuk, Jong Ho Yun, Sun Jo Hwang, and Peter Kim.

This is based on the memory of the person who attended Hoon Dok Hae, because recording was prohibited at the Hoon Dok Haes in Father’s later years. But I am convinced that this was true, because I witnessed Father saying such things in Yeosu. Do you deny that Father said those words in Yeosu and in Cheong Jeong Palace and do you deny that he performed such a ceremony?

The best thing would be for church HQ to open the recordings of that Hoon Dok Hae to the public. Also, HQ has all the recordings of Yeosu as well. I think they should make them publicly open and make the truth about Father’s viewpoint clear.

Recently, Mother said at Cheong Jeong Palace on July 1, 2014 and October 27, 2014 as follows:

1. God’s creation was Adam and Eve. The only begotten daughter was also there.

2. The position of the only begotten son, which Heaven searched and found after 4000 years remained (even after Jesus’ crucifixion). Father’s history is the history to become qualified as the only begotten son from the moment when he inherited the mission from Jesus. You have to understand this.

3. The last 2000 years is the history of searching for the only begotten daughter. Heaven led the dispensational history for 6000 years through the Korean (Han) tribe. The owner in Asian dispensational history is Korean (Han) kingship. I (Hakja Han) am the only begotten daughter whom Heaven found after repeated sufferings. You who met me are fortunate.

4. “Change of blood lineage”. My blood was changed even while I was in the womb. Therefore, Satan tried to kill me. You have to believe this.

5. Heaven protected me until I came up to this position. No one educated me. You cannot say that the only begotten son (Father) educated the only begotten daughter (Mother).

But Father said “Where does (Messiah) find the spouse? Not from Heaven. Because of the fall, she was lost on earth. Therefore, she has to be re-created on earth (“God’s Will and the World”). Also he said “Such a standard has to be established in order to restore Eve from the fallen realm, to re-create and to let her stand as a daughter of goodness. Otherwise, Adam’s perfection realm cannot be restored (4/30/1992, Absolute value of True Parents and the path of Tribal Messiah).” Thus, he said that he “restored Mother from the fallen realm”.

He said “Since I am trying to put the pure and innocent woman on top of all women, Father has to educate her by myself (3/20/1994, Absolute value of True Parents and the path of Tribal Messiah).” He also said “Mother follows Father. If absolutely obedient, then she is connected. The reason is because the fall was for Eve to dominate Adam. Therefore, she has to be completely dominated by Adam in order for the mistake to be restored (6/12/1967, Border of the heart).” Thus, Father was saying that Father raised and educated Mother and that Mother has to be absolutely obedient to Father.

This “absolute obedience” meant to be become one with Father through absolute obedience, who obeyed God absolutely, as Father said “There is not self-consciousness in the meaning of absolute obedience. As long as consciousness is there, it is following. Obedience has no consciousness… Deny oneself before God completely. Become minus. It is the meaning of obedience. If becoming absolute minus, it can be completely attached to plus instantaneously. This is the truth of Heaven and Earth (The life of faith in the age after the coming of Heaven).

Viewed from these words of Father, I cannot think that Mother’s recent words and behavior is showing oneness with Father. Because I know Mother who used to have set the standard of absolute obedience to Father, I feel so sorry for her recent change of heart. Many church leaders must have heard that type of words from Father many times. Nonetheless, why do they think that Mother is one with Father now?
