”Second Minds”
Two people in one
Mind is the internal nature and body is the external form.
Mind and body are two correlative aspects of a human
being; hence, the body may be understood as a second
mind. /EDP

forthwith Jesus gave them leave.
And the unclean spirits went out,
and entered into the swine:

(they were about two thousand;)
and were choked in the sea.
In the year 2009, anthropologists across the world
came together to find out which event had had the
greatest influence since the onset of human history

the birth and life of Jesus was ranked in first place.

Description of Spiritual World
Millions of spiritual Creatures walk the Earth
Unseen, both when we wake, and when we sleep.
/John Milton 1667: Paradise Lost
Spiritual light - Swedenborg
“A Columbus of Spirit World”
Swedenborg
When the human body is worn out, it dies.
But when the heart stopped beating and lungs
stopped heaving,
his/her inner self
continues immediately
his/her life in another existence.
He/she is now a spirit and no one on this earth
can with their bodily eyes see him/her.
Swedenborg
He/she has, however, in her new existence left a body
that on the dot corresponds to the body he/she had
on earth but in other for us unimaginable substance
on the nature of Swedenborg himself is uncertain.
He/she sees and hears and feels.
He/she has the stomach, liver, kidneys,
and even bladder
and she hungers and thirsts.
Swedenborg
If the dead shall become alive first on the Day of Judgment?
Were, are they then after death, asks Swedenborg.
“Is Adam and Eve and all with them hovering in Space?
What could be more wailing, lamenting and more difficult
than such a wait?
Can not their destiny be compared with prisoners, bound with
chains and fetter?
Swedenborg
If man had such a lot after death were it not better to be born
a donkey than a Human?
Is not the body eaten by worms, rats and fish? ?
And could a skeleton, dried out by the sun or decay into dust
be introduced in a new body?“ (T § 693)
Swedenborg's suggestion about a new life
immediately after death is a classy counteroffer.
Epic of the Afterlife: a Literary Approach to Swedenborg
/Olof Lagercrantz
Ann Lee
1736 –1784
leader of the United Society of Believers
in Christ’s Second Appearing, or Shakers.
Convinced (Spirit World inspired)
that sin had begun with Adam and Eve's sex
act in the Garden of Eden,
Ann Lee insisted that
sexual relations were the root of all sin.
Men and women would achieve salvation only by
overcoming this fleshly desire.
Compare sexual interpretation
with Sun Myung Moons Divine Principle:
The Spiritual Fall and the Physical Fall
God created human beings with two components:
the spirit self and the physical self.
Ann Lee
The human Fall likewise took place in two dimensions:
in the spiritual and in the physical.
The fall which took place through the sexual relationship
between the angel and Eve was the Spiritual fall,
while the premature teenage fall which occurred
through the sexual relationship between Eve and Adam
was the Physical fall.
Sun Myung Moon:
All men and women alive on earth became Satan’s
live poisonous snakes
The male sexual organ is a poisonous snake that
spurts poison at the female.
The day you lose your purity, your whole clan
will be ruined.
That is why the snake was used as a metaphor.
Do you have a sexual organ or not?
An angry poisonous snake is waiting with open
mouth, but would you put your hands in there?
Would you insert your love organ into it?
/SMM (272-37, 1995.8.30)
2006
If Jesus had married and shared his love with a woman
who loved him more than he could ever love,
would the devil be able to pull away the children they
bore? God would protect them.
Christians will say all kinds of things and raise a big fuss.
What do you think would have happened
if a pure Jesus, as a good man, welcomed a good
woman and had a family that God could protect?
2006
If children of goodness had been born
then, the world would already be unified within two millennia;
it would have become one tribe.
That wouldn’t even have taken seven centuries.

- Fox sisters Hydesville USA
The Fox sisters were three
sisters from New York who
played an important role in
the creation of Spiritualism:
Leah (1814–1890), Margaret
(also called Maggie) (1833–
1893) and Kate (also called
catherine) Fox (1837–
1892).[1] The two younger
sisters used "rappings" to
convince their much older
sister and others that they
were communicating with
spirits.
Founders of the movement:
 1700s
 Emanuel Swedenborg – a philosopher of the Spirit
 1800s
 Justine Kerner - supernormal and magnetic
therapeutics
 Margareta Fox demonstrated Mediumship in N.Y.
 Spiritualist Medium, Mrs. Maria Hayden, in England

Sir William Crookes
Florence Cook,
the famous physical medium investigated
by Sir William Crookes,
had seen spirits and heard voices from childhood
Sir William Crookes
Some scholars of the psychic field have declared
the series of experiments that Crookes conducted
with the famous medium
Daniel Dunglas Home (1833–1886)
to be the first strictly scientific tests of mediumistic ability.
Sir William Crookes
Of one such test, Crookes stated that Home went
to the fireplace and after stirring the hot coals around
with his bare hands, took out a red-hot piece nearly
as large as an orange, and "putting it on his right hand,
so as to almost completely enclose it, he then blew
into the small furnace" he had made of his hand “
until the lump of charcoal was nearly white hot,"
and then drew Crookes's attention to the flame
that was "flickering over the coal and licking round
his fingers."
Founders and Events in Spiritualism:
• Late, late 1800s
– Daniel Dunglas Home discovered his
Mediumship in US
• Developed his Mediumship in England
– James Martin Peebles - 'the spiritual pilgrim'
• Surrounded by what he called his 'band of angels'
– Alfred Russel Wallace
• Wrote to the N.Y. Times regarding Spiritualism and
Science

Important events:
• Early 1900s
– Professor William James, MD, taught
physiology and philosophy

• "On the edge of the Etheric'‘
• "The Rock of Truth"
• "The Unfolding Universe"
– Ernest Oaten broadcast by BBC about
Spiritualism

“dead” troops during WW II
More Recent events in Spiritualism:
• Late 1900s
– Eileen J. Garrett - established the New Yorkbased Parapsychology Foundation
– Ena & Harry Twigg, sitting with canon John
Pearce-Higgins
• A discarnate voice asked her to switch on a tape
recorder … The spirit voice belonged to the
missing Bishop Pike who had been dead 24 hours
September 4, 1969.
– 'According to the modern catechism the
Church has decided not to forbid anymore to
dialogue with the deceased ... this is as a
sequel of new discoveries within the domain
of the paranormal.'
This is so beautiful.

THE BLUE ISLAND EXPERIENCES OF A NEW ARRIVAL
BEYOND THE VEIL Communicated by W. T. STEAD
On April 10, 1912, William T. Stead boarded the
S.S. Titanic bound from Southampton to New York,
to take part in a peace congress at Carnegie Hall.
On the morning of April 15 the ship struck an iceberg
and Stead, along with hundreds of others, drowned.
At that time his daughter, Estelle, an actress and also a
spiritualist, was on tour with her own Shakespearean company.
Amongst its members was a psychically gifted man
named Pardoe Woodman, who foretold the disaster as
they sat talking after tea.
Through Woodman’s clairvoyant powers W. T. Stead was
able to communicate the messages contained
in The Blue Island
THEOSOPHY
THE REAPPPEARANCE OF THE CHRIST
1948
Bailey; Her vision of a unified society includes a global
"spirit of religion" different from traditional religious forms
and including the concept of the Age of Aquarius.
p. 15 In any acceptance of the teaching that Christ will
come, one of the difficulties today is the feeling that the
teaching has been given for many centuries and nothing
has ever happened.
THEOSOPHY
THE REAPPPEARANCE OF THE CHRIST
1948
p. 15 The world to which He will come is a new world, if not
yet a better world; new ideas are occupying people's minds
and new problems await solution. (end of 2nd WW)
p. 66 The works and teachings of Christ will be difficult to
accept for the christian world, But in spite of this still be
accepted in the Orient.
He will be a World teacher and not just a Christian teacher.
THEOSOPHY
THE REAPPPEARANCE OF THE CHRIST
1948
p. 69 "the time of decission", as it is called in hierarchical
circles, was in the time of fullmoon in June 1936 and full
moon in june 1945. The time of decision covered only
9 years ( a relatily short timeperiod); and resulted in the
decision that Christ should return or become visible on
Earth as soon as possible, and much earlier that planned.
William Branham
1909-1965
An American Christian
minister, usually
credited with founding
the post World War II
Divine Healing
Movement.
During a 1933 baptismal service at the
Ohio River at Jeffersonville, Indiana, a
SUPERNATURAL BEING appeared before
hundreds of people saying to him,
"As John the Baptist foreran the first coming of Christ,
you will forerun His second Coming."
This picture is displayed today at
the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.
1933
William Branham USA had been hearing
voices since he was seven years old.
Finally, in May of 1946, Branham was
commissioned by an angel from God
to be the forerunner of
the Second Coming of Christ.
One of the more radical beliefs of the group is that of
Serpent Seed which states that
the first sin committed occurred when Eve engaged
in sexual activities with the Serpent
in the Garden of Eden
thus causing "the fall of man."
1946
1946
“What did he do? He begin making love to Eve.
And he lived with her as a husband.
And she saw it was pleasant, so she went and told her
husband; but she was already pregnant by Satan.
And she brought forth her first son whose name was Cain,
the son of Satan.
Comment: In June 1946 TF went to Pyong Yang
to search for the prepared Spir. groups.
It seams like that Heavenly mission "spilled over" to US.
Korea 1950
Jesus formed by korean clouds
during the Korean War
"During the four years I lived in Seoul church,
under the same roof as Sun Myung Moon.
At one point, I returned to clean my own home for a week.
Someday when I brushed the entrance, so appeared,
he suddenly in spiritual form, full size in front of my door.
I had never before seen such a vibrant spirit before.
He told me that he woke up every morning and looked
out over the Han River, and longed for my return.
He missed me and wanted me back would live in the church,
even though I only been gone a week. "
Ref: Dr. Young Oon Kim's Testimony
from the book Blessing Quarterly, Winter 1987, pp. 27...
A MYSTERIOUS CLOUD
On February 28, 1963, over in Arizona, U.S.A.,
a constellation of seven angels appeared to
Reverend William Marrion Branham in the form
of a ring shaped-Cloud.
1963
These seven angels came from the presence of God
revealing to him the hidden mysteries of the Bible which
were sealed in the Book of Daniel and the
Book of Revelation yet were ordained to be unveiled
at the end time.
A MYSTERIOUS CLOUD
1963
Many pictures were taken of this peculiar Cloud,
some appearing in Life Magazine (May 17, 1963 issue);
some in Science Magazine (April 19,1963 issue),
along with a scientific report of how it was scientifically
impossible for such a cloud to exist.
The highest clouds form at about 10 miles,
but this phenomenal cloud was 26 miles up,
at which altitude water vapor does not exist.
The original glossy prints reveal the full face of
the Lord Jesus Christ as the picture is viewed from
the right side angle
"like unto the Son of Man, His head and His hairs
were white like wool, as white as snow" (Rev.1:13).
1970s
The next time I came, they led me to
the study room and gave me a book written
by Dr. Young Oon Kim, introducing the
Divine Principle revelation.
When I read the passage about the similarity of the
time of Jesus’ birth and the Second Coming,
I started to joke about this “nonsense.”
In the next moment, I was stunned.
I saw Jesus pass through the room, saying,
“I am in this place!”
Then he disappeared as he had entered.
A wave of peace settled around me.
1
In the following days, I was so concerned
not to make a mistake.
When I knelt down to pray to ask if this was
really the truth, it was ringing from all sides,
“Yes! Yes!” and God chastised me gently,
“Why do you ask me again?
This was my answer.”
1
From that time on, I started to study the
Divine Principle and Reverend Moon with a calm mind
and the assurance that God and Jesus had led me there.
/Testimony of Barbara Grabner 2008
January 1, 1976.
As a young church member, I was always
curious as to whether Father Moon could
heal people.
Then in 1982, I got the answer through a
direct experience.
2
I had injured my right hip during a martial arts
training accident one Saturday afternoon and had to
be carried out. I did not want to go to the hospital,
because I did not want to miss our early 5:00 A M
service, even though I was in excruciating pain.
“I will see a doctor after service,” I thought.
But during the night Father Moon came
to me, looking very serious, and touched
my right hip.
He pointed his finger at me with that look in his
eyes, as if to say, “You doubting Thomas,” and
then he left.
2
I was awakened at 4:30 AM, and my thoughts
went to my injured hip. Suddenly, a voice said, “Get
up,” which I apprehensively did. To my amazement
there was not an inkling of pain. Everyone was
shocked when I walked into the room. After service
I gave my testimony.
/ Richard J. Francis
At the end of twenty-one days,
I watched a video of True Father
(Reverend Moon) for the first time.
3
As he appeared on the screen, I started to hear
angels’ voices singing a song I had sung every
Easter with my church choir back in Minnesota:
“The King is coming, the King is coming, I can hear
the trumpets sounding, and soon his face I’ll see.”
3
With uncontrollable tears streaming
down my face, I again felt embraced
by Jesus and the Holy Spirit
and received the revelation that Sun Myung Moon
was God’s son (Messiah). I realized that everything
in my life had prepared me for this.
/GINGER NICHOLLS 1980s
1974:
I found myself walking in a dark corridor,
at the end of which I saw a light.
Getting closer, I saw in that bright light
the face of Jesus.
Then Jesus’ face changed into Sun Myung
Moon’s face. I had the strong feeling that it
was the same heart;
only the external appearance
changed. I felt profoundly happy!
4
My challenge to all true Christians is to
pray and ask Jesus to appear in their dreams.
Ask Jesus about the identity of Reverend Moon.
Remember Matthew 7:7.
If you sincerely ask, definitely the reply will
come, even faster than you expect.
4
Since the time I first met the Unification Church,
which is now known as the Family Federation for
World Peace and Unification, I have had many dream
encounters and many other spiritual experiences.
These, along with the clarity of Divine Principle,
became the foundation of my belief, faith, and trust in God.
/Elisabeth Ciacciarelli Schneider Italy
One year later, in 1971, I began having
dreams every morning at around 5:00 AM.
For exactly three years, I would dream of an
Oriental man who would appear to me in what
appeared to be a huge stadium filled with people.
Two weeks later, I met one of the Japanese
missionaries from the Unification Church
and was invited to the church center. While
waiting for the lecture, I curiously opened a
Divine Principle Book, and I saw the picture
of Father Moon.
The book immediately seemed to turn to
gold, and a blinding ray of white light from Father’s
picture came out at me.

Prof. Young Oon Kim
Often people ask how I was able to accept
the Divine Principle.
There were several contributing factors.
One of them is because I was greatly influenced
by the teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg and still
treasure them deeply because they have continued
to have lasting value in my spiritual life.
According to Swedenborg, there is a correspondence
between what takes place on earth and what occurs
in the other world.
"The human fall took place not by breaking any promises
but through the blood lineage.
Therefore, the fall, which happened through the
blood lineage, must be corrected through the blood lineage.
God's purpose to restore the True Parents
has always been the same.
The Messiah is the True Parents.
Therefore the essence or purpose of Christianity,
Judaism and the Unification Church is the same.
What is the Completed Testament Age?
It is on the cosmic level.
Its goal is to have even the spirit world receive
the True Parents.
It is on a different dimension.
1984.04.29
Why is it important to know about the
Laws of Spiritual World!
”The internal character is invisible to the physical senses
and yet it is responsible for the behavior of the external
reality that is observed, directly or indirectly, by humans.
The implication of this is that the invisible inner world of
creation is causal and therefore more important
than the world known to human senses.
Yet little is known about the internal, spiritual,
dimension of reality.
This is due, in part, to the fact that it is a realm intangible
to the five senses of the body and beyond the reach of
scientific instruments; consequently its study has remained
the province of religion, which is the object of considerable
skepticism in the modern, scientific world.”
Since the body is needed to provide vitality elements for
growth of the spirit, the growing process to spiritual maturity
is to be carried out on earth.
Men and women who do not reach the completion stage
on earth have to continue their efforts to grow as
disembodied spirits.
This is unimaginably more difficult than growing while on earth,
since on earth an individual has a body to give vitality elements
to his spirit directly.
Once detached from his or her body, a person can gain the
benefit of vitality elements only indirectly, by serving men and
women still on earth.
/Essentials Of The Unification Principle - Thomas Cromwell
Analogy: Life in the Physical Body is like bicycling
You are the Spirit Body, not the bicycle (Physical Body)
You need it to get far and fast (spiritual development)
Once you discard the bike (die)
It takes so much longer/slower to travel (develop spiritually)
You can borrow another bicycle (returning resurrection)
but now you are two people on the same bicycle = slower!

Eph 6:12: “For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against
the principalities (rulers), against the powers, against the world-rulers of this
darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
Apostle Paul instructs us to put on our spiritual armour because our battle
in this world is a "spiritual" one.
A warfare that involves the trickery and power of the devil,
as opposed to a human battle.

Franco Ravaglioli July 1970
This spirit told many people what to expect and gave many
particulars about this man's mission.
A few months before I came in contact with Divine Principle,
the spirit said that very soon I would learn something about
this man.
In fact a few months after I was introduced to Divine Principle...
As I read the book I felt that this was the truth.
I was certain that this was, finally, the manifestation of the
Christ.
Extraordinary Messages from´Heaven
One of the mediums from Moderna was very different.
This woman, Lidia, was blind.
I put into her hand a bell from Father's wedding cake
and asked her what it was.
She looked most perplexed as she began to receive
heavenly messages.
Extraordinary Messages from Heaven
…at first she could not believe the messages as they
were so incredibly unusual, then she said,
"Yes, God has a basis on earth through this man; divine
marriage; no one can stop him."
Then I questioned her about Father and she told me
in detail about the origin of sin Father discovered.
Baba Vangas’s prophecies made her famous;
probably not as famous as Nostradamus, but
still, for a humble, illiterate, blind Bulgarian
she made headlines all over the world.
Ex. The New York Times, April 5, 1995
Baba Vanga mentioned a
new religion that will take the earth by the storm:
The White color associated with that new religion
is often associated with the White Brotherhood,
but is more possibly representing
a religion coming from Korea,
known as the people of the white clothes.
"Christ will Return as a peacemaker"
and unify all religions.
Vanga promises that the prophecy in the Bible
concerning the Second Coming of Christ will come true.
She described him as a peacemaker who comes to our time
and "will sign the eternal peace".
In Vanga's words God is one and religions will soon find a
common purpose
and the whole humanity will come to believe one truth.
The new religious leader, coming from the East as the
Messianic figure to guide humanity towards peace will unite
all religions;

The year 1916-1917 Jesus mother Mary, appeared in a

given to the pope in the year 1960. (Comment: 1960 was

voices since he was seven years old.
Finally, in May of 1946, Branham was
commissioned by an angel from God
to be the forerunner of
the Second Coming of Christ.

/Arthur Ford sitting 1965
Mr. Moon reminded me that in the Book of Revelation 1965
there is a picture of the New Jerusalem, the Holy City,
coming down out of the heavens.
And there was a door on the east and a door on the south,
a door on the north and a door on the west –
and when the teacher comes,
he always has to come through the eastern gate.
In the Holy City of Jerusalem there is an eastern gate
long since sealed and blocked.
It will never be opened until the new teacher comes.
/Arthur Ford sitting 1965
The Hebrew name of the Golden Gate is Sha'ar HaRachamim
( ,(‫ שער הרחמים‬Gate of Mercy. In Jewish sources the eastern
gate of the Temple compound is called the Shushan Gate., this
would make it the oldest of the current gates in Jerusalem's Old
City Walls.
I can only repeat the vision of John, that when the New Age
comes, the Eastern Gate will open, and not only man - but
Revelation – will flow out of that gate. /Ford-Fletcher
According to Jewish tradition, the Shekhinah (‫כינה‬
Divine Presence) used to appear through the eastern Gate,
and will appear again when the Anointed One
(Messiah) comes (Ezekiel 44:1–3)

In the spiritual world—which is closer to the origins
of our being and mind—individuals communicate

The son of an Orthodox priest,
Tesla was a mystic who had out-of-body

years old.
As a child, he saw a photograph of Niagara
Falls and prophesied that one day he would

Nikola Tesla
He came up with his idea for alternating current (AC)
in a vision he received while watching a sunset in a
park in Budapest.
Another example of one of his prophetic ideas was
his realization that matter and energy were interchangeable,
an inspiration he received years before Einstein
demonstrated the same idea with his Theory of Relativity.
He is a person some would describe
as “spiritually open.”
Nikola Tesla
I feel an affinity for Tesla because I believe he was a
mystic who was being inspired by the spirit world.
In my view, many great scientific inventions have come
as revelations from heaven.
I believe that heaven was working through Tesla,
and others like him, to advance God’s Providence.
Tesla was very idealistic and hoped that his inventions
would be used for the benefit of all humanity.

A True Story
Twin girls, Brielle and Kyrie, were born
12 weeks ahead of their due date.
Needing intensive care, they were placed
in separate incubators.
Kyrie began to gain weight and her health
stabilized.
But Brielle, born only 2 lbs, had trouble breathing, heart
problems and other complications.
She was not expected to live.
Their nurse did everything she could to
make Brielle’s health better, but nothing
she did was helping her.
With nothing else to do, their nurse went
against hospital policy and decided to place
both babies in the same incubator.
She left the twin girls to sleep and when she returned she
found a sight she could not believe.
She called all the nurses and doctors and this is what they saw
(refer to the picture above).
As Brielle got closer to her sister, Kyrie put her small little
arm around her, as if to hug and support her sister.
From that moment on, Brielle’s breathing
and heart rate stabilized and her health
became normal.
From then on, they decided to keep both
babies together, because when they were
together they kept each other alive.
And today (2011) they are 15 years old.

April 2013
A powerful witness that there is great new hope on the horizon.
"On Easter I had a spiritual experience that I would like to share
with you.
At one point, when I closed my eyes, I saw True Father in front
of me.
He was so lively, and beaming with happiness.
He wore a light beige coloured suit, a white shirt and a light
coloured tie.
April 2013
He was standing very relaxed, putting his weight
more on one hip. Then I saw that True Father was
holding hands with Jesus, who was standing to his right.
True Father was so blissfully happy.
Jesus was dressed in a white cotton gown, with a red
and blue stripe going down from the top to the bottom on
each side of his neck.
This is the first Easter that True Father and Jesus are together
in the spiritual world.
