The Words of the Doroski Family |
At the end of 1971, about a year after I joined the movement the source of the Divine Principle and founder landed in America and spent seven days in the San Francisco center to fulfill a spiritual condition consisting of an extensive 7-day Divine Principle workshop taught by our movements existing President Young Wi Kim. During those 7 days President Kim only taught the 1st chapter out of 12, but with such detail that I have not heard since; normally chapter one is presented in 1 to 1 ½ hours. From that workshop I came to understand that the entire Divine Principle is chapter one and the rest of the lectures are the Divine Principle applied to the history of humanity being restored back to God (whether Judeo, Christian or Muslim) and that various levels of Chapter 1 (The Principles of Creation) can be studied in other forms like "Unification Thought" (a unique understanding of Philosophy i.e. the Theory of Education) www.unification.org/ucbooks/euth/index.html "True Families Values" (a multiyear school education course used in many countries of the world) or "Free Teens" www.freeteensusa.org/
Unfortunately most of the members of the San Francisco movement did not attend the lectures because of becoming very sick with extreme cases of the flu going into pneumonia. I attended the first few sessions and was impressed by President Kim's soft, gentle character and his determination to give the lectures in spite of sweat pouring down his brow and obvious difficulty in standing, it seemed like he was going to topple over a few times; he had high fever. However, like others I soon collapsed in bed, unable to stand or sit. After missing two days of lectures I chastised myself for being overcome by fever, especially since I had a history of never being constrained by health problems. I then forced myself, in spite of a high fever, sitting behind Rev. Moon's wife. It took me a while to become aware I was coughing on Mrs. Moon and move to the back. I then took notice of sweat on the forehead of Rev. Moon but there was no break in his concentration of President Kim's lecture. He was so serious as if the future of humankind's existence depended on His hearing every spoken world. I then understood that some kind of a serious condition was being made and I determined myself to not leave the room again. Soon members started returning to the lecture room to sit beside this man, we called "Teacher" determined to "change the world, eradicating all evil." I later learned that this workshop was condition to transfer our movement's providential work to America and that this workshop was a condition to inherit the foundation of the Korean missionaries sent some years earlier and thus the seriousness and difficulty for this workshop to be completed and attended. Please remember that Satan or evil forces have dominion over the earth and a battle is being waged. As this testimony book progresses you will understand the spiritual conditions I learned to make in the physical world to separate from evil forces. www.bibletools.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Topical.show/RTD/cgg/ID/809/Satans-Rule.htm
I could see many spirit forms and angels flying about the room and around us. At times, some even passed through my physical body, which caused my body to shake from the tingling of their energy passing through my physical body which also consists of energy. Father Moon and Hak Ja Han Moon and Pres. Kim had very bright, colorful auras about their heads that I could see. From that time I developed a direct connection of heart and mind to Father Moon starting at this workshop that increased with the years. www.FatherMoon.com
After Father Moon left and began his cross country tour of America I had a great difficulty to focus on my business mission in San Francisco. I was plagued by telepathic communication from spirit ancestors day after day telling me that I had to stop my business mission and work directly under Father Moon as a missionary. To quiet these voices I appealed to Papa-san Choi to let me join under Father Moon directly, but he understandingly refused due my business responsibilities. So, I reduced the wholesale/retail picture frame business in size and prepared Mike Runyon to take over; knowing clearly I was in the wrong place, at the wrong time, doing the wrong thing focusing on business. When Father Moon's American speaking tour reached San Francisco, I "passed a note" to Col. Pak to hand to Father Moon and went up to the brothers room. The note explained about the spirit voices telepathically telling me to work directly under Father Moon and would Father Moon please accept me as a missionary under him or refuse this request to quiet these voices and my torment. Within minutes, Father Moon called for me. When I went down to the kitchen, the normally dark room had brilliance and Father Moon with bright light surrounding him looked at me with a beaming large smile and said in English, "So, you want to be a missionary?" I nodded and he said, "Great!" with a thumb up gesture. I thus joined Father Moon as a direct disciple, was assigned to pioneer Texas and was the first member of the San Francisco family to graduate from Papa-san's mentoring and from that moment the spirit ancestor voices stopped plaguing me.
About six months after starting our movement in Texas I brought a van load of the members to Oklahoma to hear Rev. Moon. Early in the morning Father Moon came down from the second floor of the state center and began to speak to a gathering of about 25 members. The feeling was if you were in an intimate gathering with your Dad, as if he was still in his bathrobe. He shed tears as he spoke of the poor families suffering in various nations of the world and declared that our movement would teach and thus transfer the know-how to produce autos, steel and all aspects of manufacturing needed appliances to the third world. I also cried due to his expressed heart and God's heart for the unfortunate of this world, but a few minutes later became concerned and afraid for my movements future when it flashed in my mind what the mega corporations or oligarchies of the world would do to our group to prevent us from sharing their manufacturing techniques to the world's poor nations in order to maintain their monopolies. I realized the power brokers of the world would stop at nothing to destroy Father Moon and the organization I had committed myself to.
Around this time Father Moon started having national meetings every 40 days with all the America state pioneers in Belvedere's main room; he and his family were living on the second floor. He would hear reports, give us general mentoring on living for the sake of others, serving the new members joining in our states and then give us instructions of specific goals to achieve in the next 40 days. Actually the main room was not that large and there would be at least 60 leaders including the national staff all squished together sitting on the floor body against body. In one meeting a very interesting experience occurred. After Father Moon was talking for a few hours one of the brothers, Gregory N. was falling asleep and Father Moon then told that state leader to stand up, which he did. Actually Gregory was over 6 feet tall and very large physically. Father Moon continued talking until he noticed Gregory swaying back and forth, asleep standing and about ready to topple over and flatten many members. At that moment Rev. Moon "changed" his direction and ordered Gregory to sit down because of a change in the situation.
Also in another meeting a similar point of flexibility in the meaning of directives coming from Father Moon occurred. While Father Moon was intensely talking and having all of us state leaders write down a long list of new activities he needed us to accomplish, a brother raised his hand and disrupted Father's speaking with a question. The state leader explained, I am sorry but I can't do any of these new requests because I followed exactly your directive at our last meeting and sent all the members to headquarters for the fundraising project; I am alone in my state now and don't know how to proceed. Rev. Moon got upset with this leader and explained each state leader must "think" for themselves and not blindly follow directives. "Could you not understanding yourself that there will be ongoing new projects coming every few months and you need to keep some of your members to be supporting your upcoming needs", Father Moon said. "I don't expect you leaders to be people who blindly follow whatever your told, but to think for yourself with an understanding of the Divine Principle and reflective prayer as a aid".
These two occurrences were important to clarify to all the American State Leaders that they should not just blindly follow any leader above them and also raise up the members beneath them in their states to "think for themselves" and also not just blindly follow. That Rev. Moon does not want a "top down leadership structure". Consistent with this over the years Father Moon, over and over, define the mission and attitude of leaders should be to "serve" the members they are responsible to "raise them up to become better than themselves", taking pride when those in their charge "out do them".
