The Words of the Johnson Family |
It's interesting seeing some of the responses in the room when Hyung Jin Nim discussed Absolute Sex on Dec 15th 2012. Many people who had never heard it before where anywhere from entertained to excited and/or liberated. But I also recall seeing a few puzzled faces and faces with disbelief. I had seen this before. Back in the late 1990s True Mother had told the CARP president Jin Hun Nim to start a purity movement and the PLA (Pure Love Alliance) was born. There were members who wished to flee from the dreaded responsibility of disseminating Absolute Sex messages to the world. And there were members who felt exhilarated and challenged to break through in the task.
I moved from CARP fundraising and joined the PLA in the spring of 1997. I contributed to the entertainment team and was one of the speakers at the public rallies. Later I became an abstinence educator. By 2000 the leadership of CARP and PLA was handed over to Hyun Jin (aka H1) and the PLA was defused.
Needless to say, nothing big came of the PLA after the support was officially removed. And here's my best guess why. Without being critical of people, let me just say that I can appreciate some of the difficulty that members might have accepting the doctrine of Absolute Sex as both viable and central. However, there is ample evidence to show how True Father feels about the subject. Nonetheless, some members squirm when sex is mentioned while others less embarrassed have difficulty for another reason. On the surface, sex just doesn't seem like the killer in the murder case. An entire world was killed, turned into hell on earth and the murder weapon was hidden from all eyes until the Messiah wrote the chapter 2 of the Divine Principle.
So what does this have to do with Computer Hacking? Sometimes a computer system is run on another system. If the base system is programmed to protect the operating system, then a computer hacker will be powerless to alter the operating system if he does not get access to the root system. Hackers can spend an eternity altering code and meddling with peripheral functions of the system, but if none of his messing about gains him access to the root system he will be frustrated, he will be beaten. The Hacker who fails to get root access gets no consolation prize. He get zip ziltch. When the system reboots all of his tinkering is gone and the system might even have no trace of his actions. Hell is such a system and human history has persistently been ruled by satanic programming because the root system has not been understood.
Some people have tried to create social programs to heal the hell on earth that we have lived in, and some people have tried to solve it politically or economically. Nothing seems to get at the annoying source of the problem and, like the hacker, people just give up. Religions claim to be able to deprogram human beings and help them to live apart from the main program of hell, but eventually people become frustrated with the treading water that must be done to survive hell. Some even get frustrated with those religions. Then false religions arise saying that we can harmonize with the disharmony itself, surrender to the sin they say. And that only lasts until sin does what it does best, kill steal and destroy. Can we deny that our movement has reach such a frustrating point?
Why has this happened to our movement? Why has God's best hope, the Unification Movement, been deflated? It is because we have been experimenting with the following question for the last 20 years. "What if Absolute Sex is not the core?". We've been operating under the curious whim that, time and time again, has lured us into old impotent strategic thinking. When we squirm away from accepting the fact that Absolute Sex is the root cure, we consign ourselves to failure that we pretend is not inevitable. We consign ourselves to wishful thinking. Indeed, ever since True Father first talked about Absolute Sex, functionally, we have been in denial. It cruel what happens when we turned from the messiah's core message. We simply spun ourselves completely out of energy trying to hack the evil computer called the fallen world, using methods without access to the root system. What fools.
It understandable though. When we feel powerless against our own impurity, we shy away because we feel that we cannot be the vanguards of the new age. Yes it's understandable, but is it forgivable? When so many Blessed Children have no sexual sin, and so much creative media ready talents, why...? Right under our noses, or should I say behind our zippers, was an answer that we rejected. SO many times in recent years father has said to us, "I taught you everything. Go do it". But we buried it. Father had once said that Richard Panzer, the founder of the abstinence program "Free Teens" was the only American Member fulfilling his responsibility. And still, very few people volunteered to assist Richard. One of the most impressive things about my small group of friends in the movement is that my friends are those that took up the purity message. For example, Bruce Smith... I was always impressed by his resolve to deal with the purity issue when no one else would. The WAIT team would deal with AIDS awareness, etc.
Now we have come full circle and it is our last stand. Will we turn our backs on the power that we hold in our hands? Brother's and sister's... Don't believe the enemy telling you that you are not qualified to care about this issue. You may not be a good speaker, but you can help raise one up. You may not be good on camera, but you can get one of your smooth faced children to make official family stances and/or statements about this issue. You may not know all of the statistical history of bad sex and what it has done in America since the 50s, but you can get interested. There are tons of sociological data to support our side. The people across the Jordan are small and our God is Big.
