Why True Mother emphasized that putting our partisanship aside for God's Will

I felt to share with you my insight and perception about why our True Mother, in her speech in Washington DC on the Anniversary of the Washington Monument Rally, spoke about the importance of legislators in the US setting aside their partisanship and moving toward collaboration for the public good. I think True Mother said this to make clear to members that we should also put aside our personal preferences as we seek to understand who among the presidential candidates, despite their obvious character flaws, can be of most use to God.

Since before leaving to visit my country at the beginning of this year, I had a feeling that the Republican Party’s chosen candidate for president was not fit for the job, even though I didn’t really know very much about him. After a few months it became clearer to me that his impulsive character may lead him to unknowingly cause a lot of damage and sabotage God’s Will. Actually, he reminds me of the young leader of North Korea who loves to vent and act in an immature and irresponsible way like a child.

Just about a month before the election, my husband, who is very interested in the presidential campaign, said to me, “I think I will vote Democrat.” I didn’t like to hear this statement from him, yet after I thought about it awhile I said to him, “Ever since I became a citizen of the United States, I have only voted Republican, but I’m not going to vote for this man. Still, I’m not sure I want to vote for this women either.” So I really was neutral and I said to my husband, “Regardless of who you vote for, we should not go to the polls thinking that we’re voting Republican or Democrat, but that we’re choosing people who have the best potential for uniting with True Mother’s heart in alignment with God’s Will to restore this nation centering on the Age of Women.”

I decided to seek for God’s inspiration about this dilemma. So I prayed to our Heavenly Parent that if He wanted me to vote for this woman, I would need some sign from heaven about it, considering all the controversy swirling around her. When I started praying like that, I felt God guiding me almost immediately! I will not explain the details here, but I got the answer during a Hoon Dok Hae reading in the Cham Bumo Gyeong, Book 12, Chapter 4, beginning on page 1400, under the section titled: “Women’s Federation for World Peace (WFWP) and the Proclamation of the Women’s Era.” This is a speech from True Father about how WFWP had started and it’s purpose, etc.

Reading this chapter really gave me incredible insight and inspiration, initially about how to nurture and motivate that influential woman I’ve been in touch with whom I’d spoken with you about earlier, ____. When we deal with such “big fish” we have to be cautious, patient, wise, and sensitive. As I continued to read the chapter, I began to get an incredible understanding of how True Parents have set the foundation for this coming election in order to proceed with God’s Will here in America.

I felt so delighted and inspired to read the words where True Father said, “For seventy years I have worked so hard to set the foundation for True Mother to inherit.” In 1992, True Father officially proclaimed that True Mother stood on equal footing with him, and he went on to say, “Never before had a Victorious Eve existed in the fallen world, and now that the Victorious Eve has come, Satan’s world must disappear!”

What is important for any candidate who would be President of the United States is their character, endurance, and integrity, regardless of any past mistakes we may think they’ve made. What our focus should be on is God’s time-table with regard to this ultimate Era in the Providence in which women must play an incredible role in helping to bring about world peace. I believe without a doubt that True Mother has had an impact on preparing the atmosphere for the upcoming US Presidency centered on women!

True Father encouraged True Mother to set her own foundation. He explained how True Mother went to many major cities and nations throughout the world to proclaim WFWP, declaring, “The Era of Women has come and it is important for the women of the world to take the lead in bringing world peace!” I can see now how True Mother’s proclamation fits precisely this significant hour when our elder son nation must decide who to choose as president. True Father said that the rapid establishment of WFWP worldwide shows that God’s final Providence is to connect all women. True Father also said that it’s True Mother who has to give rebirth to the Archangel, and because she can’t do that all alone, therefore all women will increasingly be encouraged to become like True Mother’s second selves. This is how the Age of Women is arriving in this New Era, he said.

I remember, also, that after Obama’s election in 2008, True Father mentioned that a woman may possibly become president in the near future, but at that time he didn’t say much more about it.

Something True Father did say in that speech about WFWP was that women need to take back their proper position. It is no coincidence, then, that women around the world are taking the leading roles: Park Geun-he is now the first woman President of South Korea, Angela Merkel is still in office as the first woman Chancellor of Germany, Theresa May is Prime Minister of Great Britain, and today a woman is either President or Prime Minister in 19 other countries (!) including Poland, Switzerland, Brazil, Norway, Argentina, Denmark, etc. Never before in human history have so many women taken such a dominant leadership role in so many countries! What is wrong for America to have her first woman President?

It is not by accident that the US Statue of Liberty is a woman-- signifying True Freedom, True Liberty, and True Happiness! Heavenly Father was giving us a strong hint when He led France to give us the Statue of Liberty. In the Cham Bumo Gyeong, Book 12, Chapter 4, True Father said, “Once I had Mother [step up to] appear before the public, Eve could be restored and the Archangel will follow.”

Which “Eve” is he talking about?

He’s talking about fallen Eve being restored to take possession of the highest position in the nations, even in those nations which have never had a top woman political leader in the past. When this occurs in America, all men (in Archangel position) will have to respect her as their president. In the same paragraph, True Father also spoke about how True Mother will get victory over all men in the position of Archangel. He said that when women around the world unite [centered on Mother], they will bring the Archangel to surrender voluntarily. ____, this is when I could see True Parents’s vision for this coming election in the United States of America!

Why do I mention to you here things you already read and know about True Parents? It’s because by reading Hoon Dok Hae, Heavenly Parent could give me some deep insight and vision about what may come in the next election and what is expected of us. This election is not an ordinary one-- it is very providential. At this time in history, it represents the last major battle in the struggle between fallen Eves and the fallen Archangel. I have also perceived, based on experiences I’ve had over the past year or so, that perhaps most of our sisters are going through many internal dilemmas due to one thing or another. However, the cause and the true meaning behind our struggles and our dilemma is the same. It has to do with the reality of the unrepentant Archangel realm we must deal with in order to win the last battle in this Era of Women.

Because True Parents have supported the Republican Party for decades, I’ve always voted for the GOP in the past. In the elections of 2008 and 2012, I had to make a hard choice-- it wasn’t because I felt that God didn’t want that young black man, Barack Obama, to be elected; nevertheless, I united with my husband on both occasions and voted Republican. It was because we knew the GOP was more supportive of the kind of traditional family values our church professes. Back then, I could deny my own personal feelings because of that. Today, however, with regard to true family values, the GOP has largely caved-in, especially regarding “gender identity.” Yet they hold strong about the rich paying less taxes — although True Father said just the opposite.

This year when one leader asked Mother, “Who should we elect president?” she answered, “We need to think about the person who can help the nation the most.” Before the 2008 election, I heard that some ACLC members in Chicago had asked True Father who he thought would be elected. True Father told them that God can work through whoever gets elected-- but he must have already known because he’d predicted 30 years earlier that a black man of African descent born of a white mother would one day be President of the United States! I was in the room in 1975 at the New Yorker Hotel when he’d said this, but I’d totally forgotten about it. We can see that just as Father was not stuck on any one party, we shouldn’t be stuck either. Much later, I realized the significance of uniting with my husband’s opinion back then, twice, and denying some of my own feelings. It’s because I’ve never been one to decide things based on my own race. True Parents’ way is to try to take the overall situation into account and then make a decision based on God’s agenda.

But I have to say that when Obama got elected, I felt it was liberation not just for black people all over the world, but also liberation for God! The issue of race has been a headache for God. Even some white people could feel liberated at that time all over the world. What was most beautiful was that many white people, especially white women, joined in support of Obama’s historic election in 2008. I remember I was so deeply moved by this. This is how I knew God was also moved by this event. It was the first time a black man had become President of the United States, and the first time all over the world in a long time that middle class and poor minority people everywhere could feel the hope and joy of liberation! It was truly an historic event!

Now that I look back, I realize that Obama was in the position of the best fallen Archangel God could find at that time. As a black man and a Christian representative of Abraham’s Muslim descendants, he could help us make a transition that would allow for the restoration of all people externally, particularly in

regard to racial and religious unity here in America. Years earlier, True Father had set the tone and foundation for this providential victory at the matching of 705 couples in 1979 in the Grand Ballroom at the World Mission Center. Father began his matching with a small group of black and white interracial couples, and he told us that we are responsible for black and white unity in America. My couple was in that group, and I will never forget it-- it is so significant for our couple to know we are part of that special providence!

In the beginning, the Archangel was responsible for misleading Eve and then leading all humanity away from God. Now, near the finale page of restoration, our historic president has been put in the position of Archangel in advance of this upcoming election to help prepare the way for a woman who may well become “The First Woman Elected as President of the United States of America.” This is truly in alignment with what True Father said and what I read the other day in the Cham Bumo Gyeong: He said, “In this time of the Women’s Era, men need to step back and support the efforts of women.” I really believe that when that can happen, a more beautiful abundance of love, peace, and harmony can embrace the family, the nation, and the world.

Why? Because at the beginning of the Garden of Eden, the Archangel seduced Eve away from God. So now, in this last hour of God’s Will for the Restoration of the True Nation and the return to the Garden of Eden, an historic Archangel is already sitting in his proper position and is ready to play his proper role of guiding, leading, and supporting this historic woman about to be elected president for the first time in the history of the elder son nation. According to True Father, all women of the world need to come back to their proper position, which they can only do by becoming closer to True Mother and thus closer to God. Hillary Clinton will have the opportunity to gain the admiration of all women from all over the world. Then, with the help of UPF, Ambassadors for Peace, and our International WFWP organization, we will nurture and embrace her and introduce her to our True Mother, the “Cosmic True Parents of Heaven and Earth”! It is very possible that all women on earth can be connected to True Mother through our first woman president. (We need to pray for this to happen!) Beyond partisanship, beyond considering ourselves Republicans or Democrats, we need to support the direction the providence is going centered on True Mother.

If we in the US take this opportunity to elect this woman, we can truly see how God’s Will can possibly enfold and be realized. And people all over the world will cheer for the first Woman President of the United States! So I can see a window of opportunity opening here, during this Era of returning to the Garden of Eden for the realization of God’s Will centering on True Mother. Someone in position of Eve must receive the authority from the fallen Archangel to lead our nation. Brothers and sisters, this is enormously significant, both historically and providentially. All women around the world will celebrate and cheer, because they will feel one step closer to God’s heart and feel more liberated from this fallen world under the fallen Archangel.

True Father made it clear that the women of this age will be the builders of an ideal world filled with peace, love, and freedom. He also told us that the rule of men has resulted in wars, violence, oppression, exploitation, and crime. These truths are evident when we look at the main male candidate who is desperately trying to become our next president. Everything is coming out from his mouth like bile. From the beginning, he started putting women and minority people down. But True Father said women will put an end to it! True Mother has set the tone for this to happen! How soon it can happen will be up to us.

That’s why I decided to write this email, to help open that window of opportunity and set the tone for the victory of True Mother with women on behalf of this nation and the entire world.

Whatever situation we are dealing with, whatever bugs we have in our heart which keep us playing the same self-centered games against one another, whatever it is which is blocking us from being truly able to connect in heart, all these things are a hindrance to God’s Will for the nation and the world. We may never know God’s intention completely. He may be sowing the seeds in your lineage that may result in a future President of the United States. By the same token, who would ever have known, except True Father, that a man of African descendant with a mother from the white race would become, from 2008- 2016, the historic person who is our 44th President of the United State of America! And he’s a Democrat, to boot! We need to have the heart now to shift along with God’s Providence again to a new paradigm centered on women in this hour of our country’s history.

I emphasize this here because for some time I’ve felt that many of our blessed families, especially those with young children, don’t think deeply enough about the big picture of why we are so lucky to be blessed by the Messiah and have blessed children. It’s easier to do things the same old way, stuck in the same old patterns, not knowing what we can do to end the same old pain and suffering we often cause to God and our little children. Our blessed children are so spiritually sharp, but we are not always aware of how we inflict and contaminate them with the same old problems that bug us.

True Father said that True Mother has to give rebirth to all the Archangels. She can’t do that alone! That why he encouraged women from all over the world to become the second self who can represent True

Mother. He went on to say that this is how the Age of Women will come to take place. True Father then asked us, “How can True Mother defeat all men who are in the position of Archangel?” The answer he gave was: “If women unite together all over the world, they can bring the Archangel to surrender voluntary.” (Please read it for yourself in CBG, Book 12, Chapter 4.)

Despite all the confusion, even within the True Family, the conditions have been set for this moment to enfold. We have many women in Abel position around the world who are Ambassadors for Peace, and we’re being challenged to shift with the times and go-over our own individual partisanship. That’s why True Mother called upon the legislators of this nation, in her last speech in Washington, DC, on Sept 18th just weeks before the election, to set aside their partisanship and move toward collaboration for the public good of the nation and world. Of course, this means we have to learn to embrace the good the Democrats have to offer along with the good the Republicans have to offer for the sake of the nation and world. (Read True Mother’s speech on the 40th Anniversary of Washington Monument.)

America represents the Elder Son Nation which needs to lead the world to True Peace. An Elder Son needs the guidance of the Mother, Eve. And so, despite her imperfections, God is raising up Hillary at this time to be in Eve’s position politically, externally, whether we like or not! In fact, I was never much impressed by Hillary Clinton; until God show me recently to look past her failings to the good aspects of her character-- she has endurance and is a stubbornly persistent fighter for the causes she believes in. She’s not afraid of enemies who have tried to push her down over and over in her career ever since she was a young woman. This is a woman who never gives up. She is pushed down and betrayed, but she rises up again like a phoenix. Even her opponent admits that this is her greatest strength. Such a woman is not here by accident! If we help her to understand the vision of God’s Will for America centered on True Mother, then Hillary can be like dynamite to influence women everywhere to accept True Mother’s vision for world peace.

Hillary will have a network of principled people able and ready to embrace her as a true world leader. It will be up to us to help True Mother this way. True Mother needs the support of women all over the world, especially women of high caliber. The spiritual world is already being mobilized by heaven to make this happen. That’s why Trump is crying like a baby because he feels that the vote is rigged. He doesn’t have a clue about what’s really happening!

Yes, she is far from perfect, but there’s no other woman as competent and experienced presenting herself as the candidate at this time, as we prepare to accomplish God’s Will before Foundation Day of 2020. Perfect time table! We need to stop to hate her, or we may regret it! Think about it. If she is the one prepared by God to stand in this position today as the First Woman President of the United States of America, despite all the accusations of the false Archangels around her, then this signifies to me that she is called to stand before True Mother and to understand True Mother’s heart and God’s heart. True Mother has been there; she’s been humiliated and betrayed again and again in her life, even being called “evil” by those closest to her. Hillary should be able to understand the heart of suffering and pain that True Mother has endured to become the person she is, the “True Mother of Humankind.” This future women president may come to sympathize with True Mother, because they’ve both suffered a lot without showing their tears. If you have been there, you will know what I’m talking about. Such people can become inescapably close to God’s Will. Wait and we will see!

Another thing we should think about is that among the Republicans there were 11 male candidates and only one female candidate, and she got eliminated quickly by the aggressive Archangels around her. Isn’t that interesting? No Republican woman is even on the radar for the last fight between the Archangel and Fallen Eve! Truly, Donald Trump as the arch-Archangel has really found his match with such a powerful Eve. There is no viable woman candidate among Republicans with the range of experience and endurance that the Democratic candidate has. So there is only one woman in perfect position to be the first female elected to the US Presidency during this “Era of Women” leading to the possible fulfillment of God’s Will. God does indeed work in mysterious ways! She can be honored not just as the first woman president but as someone who helped to achieve true world peace in her lifetime under the guidance of True Mother.

Just as True Father victoriously ended the era of communism with President Reagan as his aide, now a woman has to stand in position as an aide to True Mother in solving the problem of terrorism and other vital problems of the world during this Era of Women. The person chosen to do this has to be a woman. No matter which Party she’s affiliated with, God can work through her.

It’s not by accident that the Parliamentarians Conference is about to take place in the US right after the presidential election. Our Heavenly Parent is opening this window of opportunity. We need to understand the timing and why we need to elect this woman in this Era of Women. This is a great opportunity for an acting president to recognize the foundation of our True Mother and her accomplishments toward creating true world peace in the most substantial way. True Mother is the only world leader who has the true solution. Therefore, we must make conditions to enable Hillary to unite with True Mother.

On a more personal level, I hadn’t expected that Heavenly Parent would open a window of opportunity for me with that influential woman I spoke with you about earlier, _____. I’m working with her now to influence her to join WFWP and perhaps attend the conference at the end of November. I’ll continue to pursue her with my best ability and hope Heavenly Parent can claim the Victory! Please pray for me. This woman can also be said to have a checkered history; nevertheless, I discovered so much more good about how God has been preparing her to one day meet with True Mother. I have no doubt that she can be a great support for True Mother in helping God’s dream to be fulfilled for America. God our Heavenly Parent is guiding me through this process, but it’s not automatic. It requires time, patience, wisdom, faith, and kindness to influence such influential people. When the time is ripe, she and many more like her will come to support True Mother. Let’s pray and visualize this! This is possible!

I wanted you to know my heart about this, ______, and if you think it has any value which can contribute to God’s Will for America, please you can share with _______. (It’s important for us to understand True Mother’s heart about this coming election even though she doesn’t tell us directly what to do. God doesn’t directly tell the Archangels what to do. He expects them to figure it out in their hearts.)

The Washington Times may be in favor of electing another fallen Archangel as president. True Mother will never tell anyone what to do. It will be up to us to perceive her hints through her speeches. And she made clear in her speech what kind of attitude we should have for this election-- No More Individual Partisanship! Now we must go beyond our concepts to think about who can help America the most. Who wants peace and is more able to embrace different cultures, races, genders, and faiths? This is what’s closest to True Parents’ heart. Next, who among the candidates can embrace True Father’s idea about balancing the economy? Father stated that the richest of the upper class should pay more taxes (70%!!) to balance the economy so that the poor and the middle class who are struggling to get by can share more equally in the wealth.

It is unfortunate but not entirely surprising that the political party less inclined to support these ideas of True Father today is the very party that True Parents had supported for decades due to their opposition to communism. However, the Era of Women, a new paradigm, is now upon us so it may be time to shift gears! After all, True Parents have been building a foundation not just for the Right Wing but for the Left Wing as well-- always with the hope that they can be united for the sake of the nation.

May God Bless America and the World Forevermore!

God Bless our Unified Family!
