Bulgaria
Few days ago unexpected thing happened. I was visiting old lady to bring
her something. Her neighbor came by and asked me, "Are you still in this
sect". With the next words I found out that she is not negative but
inspired. "Oh my grand daughter wants to meet you. She is reading many
things about Moon on internet and she is very inspired," she said.
A day later
the father came and brought present for my 4 boys. He also said, his
daughters are following everything about Rev. Moon on internet and are
very enthusiastic of his ideas, so I went to visit them. The daughter started telling me
the amazing story of what she was reading, what touched her and how it
all happened.
The next day
I visited them again and got to know the younger doughtier, guilty for
all of this. She was the one that found in the library of her father a
book about us. She was fascinated and than with her older sister they
started looking on Internet. This is how they stared following all
the positive new information that was coming.
The most inspiring
thing for them was the Blessing. All the idea about it, the matching,
the testimonies of participants - all seemed like a dream. After I gave
them and their cousin a short lecture on Principles of Creation and
God's Ideal, the question that was boiling within them came out, "Can I
be educated and participate in this Blessing too".
What they didn't know
is that two years ago I found that there is no positive information on
internet about us in Bulgarian language. When True Father was supposed
to come, media searched internet and found out only the negative stuff.
So I determined to change that. Since then I created around 30 blogs
and Web pages. So all the positive information they were reading was
from my articles.
The War of Ideas is Now Centered on Internet
Internet is like
a place of ideological war. If we don't win there, we will never win
the people on our side. That's a crucial information war. But for God
and Satan, it is a war of good or evil reaching to people's minds.
Unification Thought explains that our Inner Sung-sang (Reason) acts
based on the data in our Inner Hyung-sang (Concepts). So if the
information (data) is wrong, people will inevitably make wrong
conclusions. So they will lead wrong life. But if people have the complete
information, they will automatically come to the right conclusions and
lead moral life. So it's our responsibility to bring them the Truth in
whatever way possible.
This is the reason why:
* Restoration is carried centered on the Word (the Truth).
* Divine Principle said: Fall is in fact, a descent in Ignorance (of the Truth).
* The Conscience works based on "person's understanding of the Truth (Wright and Wrong).
* True Father initiated HDK to reeducate the world
And of course, Internet is the only way to spread the Truth and reach to all people, in all towns and villages, without the financial expense of printing books, transport and the time needed for all that.* Divine Principle said: Fall is in fact, a descent in Ignorance (of the Truth).
* The Conscience works based on "person's understanding of the Truth (Wright and Wrong).
* True Father initiated HDK to reeducate the world
Knowing that, you can
understand why I have chosen to spend the last 2 years in writing
thousands of articles about True Father and create around 30 blogs and
web pages on different topics. As graduate of UTS I knew something that
many members around couldn't fathom. In few years time I'll educate
hundred of thousands of people. Witnessing one to one, I'll never be
able to achieve that.
One Million Bulgarians Met TF through Internet
Yes in this time one million Bulgarians
have read some of these articles. But that's not what inspired me. I
wanted them to see how great is TF's vision, work and
teaching. And the effort did pay off. Day by day I was witnessing this
process. It was so astonishing that I couldn't believe it myself.
At my pick
I reached 12 000 readers in one day. I could see that each moment, day
or night, at list 20 people were reading in my pages, but in the pick
times it could reach to 100, 200 even over 300 readers at the same
time. That's Bulgarian readers - all my materials are in Bulgarian
language. People were reading from more than 500 Bulgarian towns and
villages. Many Bulgarians were reading from other countries of the
world.
Next came the ripple effect.
Readers who were inspired started posting the best articles themselves,
thus reaching to thousands of their own readers and friends. Each time
I checked, I could find at list few new places where people posted my
articles. Amazingly those were mostly the articles with the prophecies
about TF being the Messiah, or my articles about TF's teachings or
their application in life. It's amazing to know that hundreds of
outside people are helping voluntarily to spread the News. This is
a real testimony to their inspiration.
All this time I was praying that God and the good spirit world will be able
to lead all the prepared people to be guided, read and eventually come
in touch with us. Some of our members were skeptical about my work, but
I knew it is just a matter of time. Education is a process. Internet is
what God needs. It should be restored on His side.
The Results are Still to Come
Results started coming
out only in the last few months. And I'm sure that's only the tip of
the iceberg. I can only try to imagine what's still unrevealed under
the water. Definitely there many, many others reading inspired on Internet
and eagerly whiting the chance to meet us.
Few months ago, few people connected me with email.
They wanted to support and become members. Their personal stories show
the variety of ways how people can come to us through internet. So I'll
shortly mention some of them. One of them, a young girl, is now regularly supporting
at the Peace Embassy. She found few sentences about the "Sect of Moon"
and "Mass Weddings" in the Bulgarian Child Encyclopedia. So she wanted
to find our address on internet and came to my page. She wrote me and
called to the Embassy of Peace. Soon she joined.
