Chapter 1.5.1 My Awakening: In Search for True Parents

1.5. 0 SD-TOE AND THE GREAT AWAKENING:

 1.5.1 My Search for True Parents


Godism was conceived by Rev Dr. Moon prior to my birth in 1952, yet from the time I came to know myself as a living being I have felt disconnected from who I really am. Being born without true parents and at a time of political turbulence in my country Liberia, I opened my eyes to my identity as an African in the Bronx of New York City at the age of ten in 1962. From that harsh environment began my awakening as a child of God in search of his True Parents.

Prior to meeting Father and Mother Moon, Lord Jesus guided my life. I was raised as a Christian by my adopted-mother[1]. As a Christian I believed that Lord Jesus was “the only begotten son of God”, but with time I became disillusioned with religion as an institution. I never lost faith in God and Jesus but I began to doubt the church and its teachings. The more I witnessed man’s inhumanity to each other the more I began to question God.  While growing up in America I learned about racism, hatred, greed and selfishness. In 1965 my family moved back to Liberia, so I could see the fruit of a nation build on Christian Principles ruled by black people themselves. Painfully I came to realize that after suffering 210 years of slavery under racism in America my own ancestors had inherited the ways of their slave masters. They gradually developed Liberia into a nation-state rooted in tribalism[2], a root that blossomed into a 27 years period of civil conflict from 1979 to 2006. This conflict period was fueled by resentment, hatred, greed and pain,


[1] My birth mother Geraldine Bennetta Coleman died when I was about three years old. She had asked her cousin  Georgia B. Coleman (my adopted mother) to take care of me. As a single parent with two children of her own, she raised me as a Christian. 

[2] Tribalism is another aspect of Racism, both are rooted in man’s inability to love his fellow man.

My personal profile has been to work professionally for national peace, unity, development, security and reconciliation in Liberia so that a new Liberia may rise in the next decade 2030; a Liberia rooted in good governance with political space for co-existence, economic co-prosperity and the spiritual common good of all people… a new liberated country without borders and barriers… I hope to use my professional skills as a retired Assoc Prof. of Electrical Engineer, a Project Engineer, a Peace Consultant and a former TRC Commissioner, in this ongoing endeavor”.

Chapter 1.5.2 My Awakening and Break from Institutional Religion

1.5.2 My break from Institutional Religion: In the 1970’s I had a series of spiritual experiences that began the true awakening to who I really was… a child of God. In John 4:20 we are told the following: “If a man say I love God and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?” This simple verse made me realize that modern religion did not know the true heart of GOD . Upon returning to America in 1970 as a student of electrical engineering at Wayne State University, I decided to seek out the truth of GOD outside of my traditional faith. I studied different religions and mystic philosophies to understand their view of GOD.  Suddenly I noticed that as I searched for God he too was reaching out to me. My first spiritual experience was associated with an allergic reaction to penicillin. After being treated with penicillin for an insect bit I had my first near death experience. My bo...

Wikipedia's definition of IGNORANT is as follows:  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignorance "The word "ignorant" is an adjective that describes a person in the state of being unaware (here we can define unaware as being unconscious of certain reality simular to EGO-Consciousness), and can describe individuals who deliberately ignore or disregard (reference to Atheists) important information or facts, or individuals who are unaware of important information or facts (reference to Agnostics).
