An Attempt to Understand True Father's Course:

True Father has said that Jesus made mistakes (“messed up”) by doing miracles and by using rhetoric that overly angered his powerful opponents. These were bad tactics or strategies that didn’t have the desired result of gaining Jesus the support he’d hoped to get. We tend to attribute too much infallibility to the messiah… both to Jesus and to True Father. Some of the things our Father did, based on their overall results, could and should honestly be considered “mistakes” (i.e. “tactical or strategic errors,” not at all to be confused with “moral mistakes or sins”). It’s pretty clear that one of these well-intentioned errors (imo) made by Father, namely his plan to purify certain member’s wombs by directly implanting his seed, perhaps done to help kick-start the providence, has contributed directly and indirectly to the meltdown that has and is still affecting several of True Parents’ children, many blessed children, and our entire Unification Movement.

True Mother, too, would not be immune to making some well-intentioned strategic and tactical errors as she attempts to do damage control and accomplish her mission. The idea that “the wife of the Lord of the 2nd Advent HAD TO be born of three successive single-daughter families” is being presented now as dogma-- in fact, that’s what happened in True Mother’s case, but things did not have to happen that way! If Father’s first wife, for example, had succeeded in trusting and uniting-in-heart with Father, then God’s insurance policy with young Hak Ja Han would never have come into play. Actually, in many ways Father needed a prepared wife like his first wife, strong, opinionated, and with political clout who would respect and follow him but also not be shy about “assisting him” in his decision-making!

Both Jesus and True Father can be said to have suffered in the decision-making process due to the lack of enough honest and constructive feedback, not only from any men and women who could have stood firmly as John (and Joan)-the-Baptists around them, but from the one closest-in-heart to them… who would be their wife!

Our True Mother was the final, third-attempt “insurance policy” prepared by our Heavenly Parents (God) in case all else failed. This is in no way a denigration of our beloved True Mother (!) nevertheless, the fact is she was prepared from birth not only to meet the messiah but above all else be absolutely obedient to him! This young impressionable 17 year-old girl was actually a providential insurance policy placed in escrow by HP to be used only if Father’s first wife (or first “two wives”) failed to accomplish their mission. It worked (!) but it also had the effect of depriving Father of a co-messiah / wife who would also be his closest adviser-- because the main role of this young lady who finally succeeded in becoming Our True Mother was now to absolutely restore the failure of the first wife by being unquestionably obedient to every word out of the mouth of Father, without her offering any comment or constructive criticism “yes” or “no” whatsoever.

This worked and we now have True Parents, thank God! However, the downside of having to cash this third-attempt insurance policy was a significant lack of feminine input leading to an extremely autocratic and male-dominated movement for many years until nearly the end of Father’s life. Evidence of this is that Father taught clearly about a Heavenly Mother over 70 years ago in the Wolli Won Bon (1st Divine Principle book), but as the restoration providence changed he backed-off and barely mentioned it for decades afterwards. The failure of Father’s first wife seems to have put women back in the rear of the providential bus for decades, until recently.

Things that were hidden and talked about only in hushed-voices for too long in our movement are now being brought out in the open, perhaps because of the opening of the doors to the spiritual world-- whether we like it or not. People are hearing about these things now, so they need to hear good interpretations from people like us who truly love True Parents, rather than hearing about them first from the detractors and nay-sayers.

I appreciate your feedback.

With Love (Imo)!
