During a short span of a few months I had numerous significant spiritual experiences, one of them concerning my marriage Blessing and my future spouse. One night in a dream, I saw myself standing in an open space in the midst of heavy fog. Then, I saw a young lady walking slowly toward me out of the fog. I was spiritually told that she was to be my future spouse. I remember questioning that direction on the grounds that I did not know her at all, and perhaps a person that I already knew could be a better match for me.
Suddenly, I saw the Garden of Eden, with the same young lady standing in the very center, surrounded by magnificent heavenly flowers. At the same time, a Spirit Voice proclaimed to me, “This is your True Eve!” The voice was so loud and so strong that it seemed the whole world, including myself, was shaking violently. Naturally, I surrendered immediately and remember saying, “OK, OK, OK, I get the message!” For some reason, Heavenly Father was making it very clear to me that my future spouse had already been chosen by Heaven, and that I was not to have any ideas of my own in this matter. This happened of course during a time in our church movement when only Reverend and Mrs. Moon were suggesting the marriage partners for our church members.
On the day of matching, there were around two thousand brothers and sisters gathered in the ballroom of the New Yorker Hotel. Father asked the Western brothers who wanted to be blessed with Western sisters to stand up. I felt spiritually that I was to stand up also. I stood up in the front row, and I saw Father coming down the aisle, intensely focusing on me. I immediately closed my eyes and began a very tearful prayer of gratitude to Heavenly Father. A few minutes later, I began to feel some commotion around me, and I opened my eyes. At first, since my head was bowed, the only thing I saw was Father’s feet right in front of me. Naturally, I was shocked and raised my head quickly, and I found myself staring into the eyes of my wife, Christiane. Father was still holding her shoulder.
At that same moment, the entire spiritual experience from two years ago was repeated for me, and I felt as if the cosmos was shouting, “This is your True Eve!” A tremendous explosion of energy hit me right in my chest, and I almost passed out. In truth, it took all my effort and determination not to fall flat on my back. Needless to say, I clearly remembered her face from that dream, and it was as if I was looking into the exact reflection of my own soul!
Ever since that time, I became fully convinced that Father Moon is indeed the instrument of God on the earth. Think about it: How could he find, literally, the girl of my dreams, among hundreds of women standing in a very crowded room? Only God could do it, and He guided Father Moon in choosing my bride.
