Comment on A brighter shade of pale. by James Michael Powell

Dear Toby.

Thank you very much for your post. I gave a recent sermon about exactly this topic. I mentioned Father’s speech also – May 9. I pointed out the fact that True Father says: “I have been blessed with a long life, beyond the average human lifespan” indicating that even Father doesn’t know how long his life will be. He has said that before anyway. Father also says: “I have already prepared the last words I will give to humankind.” …and Father’s MEMOIRS have been published – with gratitude to the Buddha for his appearance to the publisher of the publishing company encouraging her to publish it. All this makes it quite obvious really that, as you mentioned with the tombs of the Egyptians and Greeks, that Father is preparing for his imminent death. Even if Father does live for another unknown, long yet short number of years, it will not be very long before we are celebrating His fantastic death with tears of absolute joy and our sincerest love and gratitude. What will we do in the time between now and then?! Even though I’m doing a lot of things, I’m still not doing enough.

You know, I like to use the comedy technique of self-depreciation, but I’m not very good at it. But I’m comforted by the fact that everything is ok in the end, and if it’s not ok, then it’s probably not the end.

A candle looses nothing by lighting another candle.

Thank you!
God bless, Mansei!
James.

Officially 14 up
But if there are people younger that particularly want to come they should apply anyway with a good reason.

Inspiring to see that we are getting positive and real information posted about us in society. Maybe it can become a trend to be like us:)

Comment on a clear direction from True Parents to blessed families by Alexander Paul

In my many years of working with an ISO certified company, I (just like my other colleagues) have been taught, trained and often reminded to abide/respect our higher directions. This is no different from what we have been trained in our spirituality, i.e. to vertically aligned with our Central Figures. When things get really confusing with emotions, the best is always to go upwards and check with the highest Central Figures of our movement, i.e. True Parents.

Thanks to Simon for bringing up this subject with reasonable restraint on emotions and yet making reference to facts.

Hope brothers and sisters will stay united to brave many challenges ahead. Lets strive to be good children, good brothers and sisters, good parents and set good examples and be stable leaders centering on True Parents for our next generation.

Warmest regards,
Alexander Paul
