For anyone interested in pursuing the matter...there is a stream of
thought/teaching coming from Russia called Theosophy. It was transmitted
spiritually through Helene Blavatsky (Russia) and later through Annie
Besant (UK). Rudolph Steiner's Anthroposophical Society (Waldorf
Schools) is an offshoot, if you will.
In my years of study of new religions, before joining in 1989, I found
this one to be the most Principled, describing the fall as sexual, and
the mission of the messiah in some detail. Those of you who are familiar
with this teaching know what I mean. I will direct you to the following
text for the purpose of personal enlightenment and/or witnessing:
In Besant's, Reappearance of the Christ, one of a volume of
(non-trance) transmissions there is mention of relevant details of
Sun Myung Moon's life, and the movement that the returning Messiah will start.
(Some followers at the time came to believe that Krishnamurti was, in
fact, the one. He was prepped for the mission from childhood by
Theosophists, became a great religious leader, and finally revealed that
he was not the One. Steiner's defection was connected to this segue).
Details include: the date Sun Myung Moon inherited Jesus' mission, and its
significance; the date Sun Myung Moon left for North Korea and its significance
(failure of Christianity); among others. Check it out...especially the
gentleman interested in other texts!
I'm sure that those of you who find this sort of thing interesting will
be much inspired...
Love, CB
