Witnessing by TV

by Erling Lea-Austin, TX

I want to share a few words about a fast, easy way to reach thousands of people right in their homes with very little expense and with only the amount of effort which one person is able to make.

TV is a very powerful medium which has shaped people's thinking and even habits. Some people are so dominated by the TV that all they do is watch, day and night. It is their window to the world. Their opinion is often shaped by the reporters and producers of various programs.

You may be thinking, "But I don't have two million dollars to start a TV station, and no one wants to air a program made by the Unification Movement." I know this is your thinking, and I even agree with you. A standard documentary program today like 20/20 or a comparable series costs a lot. Even a cheap, low-budget music video runs around $20,000. Believe it or not, even 30-second commercials cost as much as several hundred thousand dollars to make.

"So what am I supposed to do? Fundraise until I die to make a program?!!?" Relax! Take a deep breath, and sit back in the chair. There is a way. There is a loophole, not only for those in the U.S. who have Access TV. Of course not every town has Access TV.

What about the rest of the world-Europe, Asia and South America? Today there are many stations which are started by local people. Just like local radio stations, they are often financed by public funds or by local advertisement. Most likely they have little money and are actually starving for programs.

"How do I find these stations?" you may ask. There are two ways. You can use the phone book or surf the channels of your local cable TV until you see something weird, or made without proper lighting, or in some way of poor quality. You can be sure that the reason for the poor quality of their programming is either that they don't have money to get modern machines, or that they don't have enough education to make good programs.

"But isn't this disrespectful, to have something God-centered on such a station?" you may ask at this point in our discussion. On one hand, I can agree with that. But I'd like to ask you to think about Jesus' and True Father's disciples. They were not the prepared people either. If God can use one of your local stations, then that station will be very blessed. And airing programs on this kind of small, local station has an advantage in that they are looking for quality programming, and will likely show your program over and over. As a matter of fact, today many stations are so desperate that they steal programs to air them.

By the way, do you remembers which station showed a good movie last week? Most people don't understand how TV works, anyway. They sit there with the remote control and surf until they see something interesting. TV has become like a refrigerator to which people turn to escape and to seek comfort.

You may be wondering at this point, "But where do I get programs?" To start with, I suggest that you may want to start with Lethal Risk and A Portrait of Jesus. They are very high-quality programs similar in format to 60 Minutes, 48 Hours and 20/20. These programs are aired all over the world now. After this, I suggest that you air videos made by New Future Films, like films about The Assembly of World Religions, the Media Conferences, WFWP work, and others in that vein. You may want to consider Tom McDevitt's DP tapes, which are good to air because the graphics are the most readable and because each main point is clearly illustrated. As long as your tape is made in America, people will love it. You may have to pay something for airtime on some stations, but it will not be nearly as much as you would pay to have all the people gathered in one room to see a program, and you will have to make much less effort per program.

At this point you may well wonder, "What kind of response can I expect after the airing?" You may get some calls in response to Lethal Risk, yes. But the others do not usually draw much direct community response. You see, people want information but often don't call.

To find out if anyone has seen your program, you must keep your ears and eyes open. Especially the first week after it has been aired, listen to all live call-in radio and TV shows, read all the newspapers-even small local ones-and pay attention to everything which is an avenue for local news. You need to leave your radio on practically 24 hours a day. There you hear and see the people.

"Can I make my own programs?" many have pondered. Yes, of course, there are ways to do that, to learn videography. You know that the higher the quality of an education, the more expensive it is. But don't get too much dragged into all the ins and outs in today's fast- changing technology.

In the past, many producers used many simple tricks. They had no PC, CD or whatever is on the market today, and these programs are still airing today. Woody Allen is an interesting example. His films are so simple, but the point is that creativity and personal touch are most important.

I'd like to mention here that there is an American magazine called The Video Maker. It is an excellent magazine, with many good condensed articles. They are written for the consumer to help him/her create a good product without spending a fortune.

We are making a newsletter for all UC producers in the U.S., so send me your address and you will get a monthly newsletter in the mail. Also, please don't hesitate to ask questions.

When Your Heart Chills Out, Part 3

What do we do when we find ourselves "caring less and less about more and more"? The cause is stuffing so much of our anger, fear, guilt and pain under the rug that now the piles have pinned us into a corner. We can no longer find the desire to give or even feel much joy. To get free, our rejected feelings must be uncovered and neutralized. The answer lies in loving the enemy.

Bringing Cain to natural surrender

We know how self-righteous rejection and judgment only aggravates "Cain's" reluctance to change and submit to a higher example. In fact, such rejection exacerbates his tendency to rebel and even attack "Abel." On the other hand, we have seen how a genuinely loving Abel can bring Cain to a natural surrender. This love means real acceptance of Cain based on looking beyond his problems and appreciating his innate potential for goodness and his identity as a divine child. We treat him with respect despite his accusations and acknowledge a germ of truth in his accusation of neglect or mistreatment when it is valid.

We let him air his pain. We empathize with it and share in it with him. (Father often has spoken of the historical Abel failing to say to Cain, "You worked hard, you are my elder, you must feel bad to be rejected; I'm sorry that I have been favored over you. Let me intercede for you before God.") We repent to him for whatever part we may have played in his abuse. Thus the complaint in his heart about lack of love is silenced. He no longer harbors destructive feelings against us. He is effectively defused and disarmed; indeed he becomes an ally. Father has demonstrated this repeatedly.

Subduing inner Cain

The same principle holds for the Cain nature within. When our troublesome emotions meet with judgment and rejection, we stuff them under wraps and condemn them when they surface. They only go underground and worsen, like a malignant infection.

In the case of anger, for example, it only gets more and more raging and violent in intent, becoming ever more frightening to us when we sense it. This redoubles our efforts to suppress it and keep the monster under lock and key. However, such suppression serves only to further enrage the beast within, and the vicious cycle continues until we may be spending more energy containing and numbing our anger than doing anything else.

When we use the love-your-enemy approach, however, the outcome is different. Here we seek to reclaim this part of ourselves and let it become an ally. This involves several steps.

First, we recognize this Cain nature to be essentially our God-given character that has become twisted. We own this part of ourselves as "brother," not alien "other." In other words, we stop rejecting these troublesome feelings and putting them outside of our love.

Second, we accept this part of ourselves as having a legitimate grievance that needs to be listened to. In an atmosphere of safety and support, we allow the rejected feelings to express themselves without judgment or censure. We let the thoughts surface, the words be spoken, the emotions vent. We sit with the pain and grieve until the process is completed. We then offer it all to God and welcome His healing love.

What we are doing in essence is having the Abel part of ourselves embrace the Cain part. Or we may describe it as our inner True Parent giving unconditional love to the inner rebellious child. As any wise parent knows, we have to be so unchanging in love and secure in our convictions that we can let the child go through her temper tantrum without being caught up in it one way or another. We neither compromise nor criticize but only wait for the storm to pass and trust in our child's innate process of growth. Once the child feels our acceptance, she is open to guidance and reform.

In the same way, acceptance of even our ugliest feelings paves the way for them to be transformed into supportive ones. We'll talk more about this in the fourth and final part of this series.

WFWP: Sisters for World Peace

by Mrs. Nora Spurgin-NYC

When women have a bond of sisterhood, their men cannot go to war against each other. The eight International Women's Conferences for World Peace, taking place in Washington D.C. between January 22 and March 8 are a testimony to the role of women in making peace.

Fifty years ago hostilities ended between their nations. Today they would celebrate that ending and a new beginning, by forging relationships which will span the ocean. They would take each other's hands and pledge:

Through this Sisterhood ceremony I join in friendship with my partner to build a bridge of peace and reconciliation between our two nations, the United States and Japan. As a woman concerned with peace at all levels of human endeavor, I will strive to be a peacemaker and harmonizer in my family, community, society and between nations.

The day's festivities begin with a delicious luncheon held in two separate Japanese and American dining areas, followed by welcoming remarks and orientation.

In the Grand Ballroom of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Crystal City, Virginia stand 500 women from all over America in anticipation of meeting their counterparts (sisters) from Japan. They would become sisters of peace.

Suddenly the doors open and 500 Japanese women find their places beside their smiling American partners. It is a powerful moment. A moment of silence is observed for the Kobe earthquake victims. Welcome and greetings are given by America's and Japan's WFWP presidents. There is beautiful music, building up to the dramatic moment when a curtain drops revealing a beautiful bridge, cherry blossom trees and roses on the stage. It is breathtaking. The emcee, Josette Shiner, managing editor of the Washington Times and Vice President of WFWP, explains the thought behind the stage decorations:

The bridge is symbolic. The design is patterned after the Memorial Bridge which is a symbol of reunion of North and South which was fought during the Civil War. The bridge was built to connect General Lee's home on one side of the Potomac River straight to the other side which is the Lincoln Memorial, the symbol of the North. Half of the bridge looks like the bridge that was built at the Japanese Imperial Royal Palace called Megane Bashi.

Other decorations are merged symbols of America (stars and stripes) and Japan (the rising sun).

After a keynote speech, the ceremony begins. From the first row, American women move to the left side of the stage, and Japanese women move to the right. One by one, they enter the bridge from each end, walking ceremoniously until they meet in the center of the bridge, where they meet and greet each other, sometimes with bows and handshakes, sometimes with hugs. Hand in hand they walk down the center of the stage to dramatic music and return to their seats. Some of the Japanese ladies are wearing kimonos. The Americans, a rainbow of races and colors, are sometimes wearing the costumes of their ancestors' countries.

Having been represented by this first row of 16 sister-pairs, the remainder of the 1,000 women now greet their sisters, exchange information, gifts, embraces, and tears. As Japanese and Americans wipe away not only tears, but painful memories, this becomes a cleansing moment in which the flow of energy brings new life and the promise of a new beginning of cooperation between our two nations.

There are many stories of new relationships between women: one set of sisters discovered that each woman had lost a father during World War II. Many commented that there were special aspects about their sister- matches which seemed as if they had been chosen in heaven. For example, Alexa Ward's sister-match began by saying that her favorite lecturer was Dr. Tom Ward-then Alexa informed her that he was her husband!

Even though they cannot speak the same language, the language of love and care is the language of heaven, and the barriers melt quickly.

Following the ceremony, the sisters attend a reception, spending time learning about each other's lives. Then they are invited to re-enter the ballroom for the evening's entertainment and banquet.

A special treat is a special selection of dances performed by students of the Kirov Academy of Ballet. Directed by Oleg Vinogradov, the exceptional young dancers from around the world capture the hearts of everyone.

The evening concludes with the dynamic performance of singer and actress Shirley Jones, who seems to get into the spirit of the conference immediately, and carries the audience to an all-time high as she leads the whole audience in "Let There Be Peace on Earth."

Although the ceremony is the heart of this part of the conference, there is another part of the conference which can in no way be overlooked. This is the role of the keynote speaker for each conference.

The conferences began with Dr. William Bennett, former secretary of education and author of The Book of Virtues, giving the keynote speech. Obviously a man who believes in family values, he expressed much concern about America's increasing out-of-wedlock births, talked about his wife's work with "Best Friends," a mentoring program for teenage girls, and stated that the federal government cannot perform the father role for America's children, "only men and women can raise children." He expressed the need for men to take more responsibility with their sons, so that the men of the next generation can learn to be fathers.

The keynote speaker for the second conference was Barbara Walters, a co-host of ABC's newsmagazine 20/20, and a woman who has interviewed heads of state and celebrities for many years. Her speech, entertaining and informative, focused on leadership. She listed the three things she saw leaders as having in common:

1. a belief in themselves and in a higher power beyond themselves

2. the ability to communicate

3. they have compassion

She elaborated on the third point by saying that in an interview with Norman Schwarzkopf, he stated, "men who can't cry scare me." She also talked of the need for politicians to find value after leaving office and the painful transition to private life that needs to be made. Every speaker, every performer throughout the conferences has been deeply moved by the spirit of the conference, leaving always with a feeling that they, too, have become brothers or sisters of peace.

The more I work with it, the more deeply I realize that every facet of this program has deep spiritual significance. As we see our True Parents moving to broader and broader circles, we realize that their sphere of influence goes far beyond our small concepts.

The women from Japan have come here at great cost and effort, traveling far, spending long hours in meetings and seeking to understand this country.

One participant from Kobe had suffered the loss of her home in the earthquake. In the rubble, she found her luggage and passport and came to the conference-so serious was she about participating.

It is my hope that many American women can experience this deeply moving ceremony and participate in this magnificent step toward world peace and the restoration of heart.

Victorious Realm

by Malcolm & Suemi Allan and Steve & Jerry Tamayo

We were very fortunate to be with True Parents on God's Day at the International Training Center. The night before, True Father proclaimed the motto for 1995 as "Let Us Inherit True Parents' Victorious Realm." As True Father spoke, those of us at the dormitory welcomed in the New Year with Mr. Young Whi Lee, our dormitory leader. He spoke to us briefly after midnight prayer and encouraged us to break through in our relationships with each other and to work hard at gaining fluency in the Korean language. The next morning we pledged at 7:00 and then went to Father's speech. The hall at Il Hwa was filled to capacity and many people were downstairs watching on video. Buses brought members from all across Korea, so we were grateful that we could even attend. As we listened to True Father's speech, we redetermined ourselves to make more effort in our language studies so that we can understand the content of True Father's speeches.

As we were to greet True Parents at the Little Angels School in the afternoon, we left the speech early to get prepared. Christoph Yasutake had the privilege to give True Mother a bouquet of flowers as True Parents entered. This is always one of the highlights for students and staff alike. Although our meeting with True Parents was fleeting, the experience is long-lasting and spellbinding. Entertainment was MCed by Bernhard Quandt, a German brother who is now a naturalized Korean citizen and who speaks Korean fluently. Now that's inspiring!

The days following God's Day were taken up by DP workshop, followed by "Homestay". For the workshop we were fortunate to get two guest lecturers: Alireza Alhoui from Iran, and Mrs. Mary Johnson, an American sister who was a missionary in Central Africa for 15 years. Following two days of lectures, students prepared their own lectures and gave them. We were all amazed at the maturity of their presentations, and we know that in the future they will be powerful speakers for God and True Parents. After workshop was Homestay, which for some students is the highlight of their year in Korea.

My Years in Korea

by Akiko Ikeno

Akiko Ikeno shares about her almost three years in Korea. She is now back in her hometown with her parents, attending 10th grade.

Coming to Korea, living here, learning to adapt and change to a different way of life, are things kids dream of doing. It's an irreplaceable experience. It's a time when you learn and grow, understand a little and struggle a lot, and when you try to realize the ideal God put into you.

When I look back at my years in Korea, I see the change. I see the deepening of my relationship with God and I see the importance of being God's daughter. During my first two years in Korea I held myself back. Because of my parents' support, I was able to keep coming back, no matter how much I fought the idea. Upon entering my third year, I had to take responsibility as an elder. It was the first time that I had to do this. During the last four months I tried to see from God's viewpoint and understand His and my parents' hopes and expectations. I was able to open myself up to see the beauty and heart of Korea, its people, its land, history and culture. I saw things that I had failed to grasp about Korea and Koreans: their strong filial relationships, their diligent and dedicated lifestyle and loyalty to the nation. Externally it's not much to look at but internally there's so much to feel.

We all struggled, and through that we grew; we came to understand each other better and changed. Struggling is part of life and we can't expect too much all at once. Like all humans we made mistakes, and through these we learned and grew. Because of what Korea has done for me, I find it hard to believe it all started just over two years ago. I learned to live by my heart and look into the hearts of others. If it weren't for this dorm, my brothers and sisters and staff, I never could have broken through. I see the changing and deepening of my heart. I not only feel the pain we experience but also know the hope each one of us brings to God. By living according to Father's motto, which is to forgive, love and unite, we can create our principled selves. I've come for heavenly training and I leave now to serve, to spread what I gained and move on with my mission. I'll try my hardest to live by God's ideal to be a true Blessed Child. My hope is for every child to search and find their worth and to love it for God. Korea is going to stay within my mind and heart for a long time. We really got to break through with our Korean brothers and sisters and build new relationships and friendships. My memories of climbing mountains, studying for tests, playing games and having fun together will be with me for eternity. Through these things I learned a grew a deeper relationship with God.

Thank you, Heavenly Father and True Parents.

University of Bridgeport Programs - The Marriage of Technology and Art: Industrial and Interior Design

by Josie L. Hauer-Bridgeport, CT

Are you artistic or creative with a penchant for the practical? Did you ever yearn to be an inventor? Do you wonder who comes up with the latest idea for toys, cars, computers, tables, chairs, medical equipment or any other product that we enjoy in our daily lives? If the answer is yes, then consider studying to become an Industrial Designer-someone who captures human interests, needs and desires and translates them into practical things which solve problems. Industrial designers are consulted when offices, hospitals or exhibits are built; they design innovative objects which have specific functions. Sometimes those functions are to produce enjoyment, as in the design of new toys, or to promote educational goals for a specific population, as in the design of desks and chairs for handicapped students.

An Interior Designer, on the other hand, pays attention to the insides of buildings, rooms and spaces so that the coordination of lighting, acoustics and decor function in harmony. Interior designers must blend beauty with practicality to create the optimal atmosphere. They are consulted in the planning of museums, residential or commercial buildings, showrooms, hotels, resorts and schools.

The Industrial and Interior Design Programs at the University of Bridgeport began in 1949 with General Electric Industrial Designers. UB students receive many awards from the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) in yearly competitions. These programs are fully accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) and offer internships and collaborations with major corporations and design offices. Students from many foreign countries have graduated from UB's Design Program. Some of our outstanding alumni include top designers in General Motors, Chrysler Corporation, United Technologies, Rubbermaid, Black & Decker, Hasbro and Gerry Baby Products.

First- and second-year courses include: drawing; model-building in plastic, wood and metals; drafting; design theory and history; photography; graphics and human factors. Third- and fourth-year courses are more specialized, with electives in design, computer image development, materials and processes, professional practices and portfolio. There are also courses in architectural systems, interior products and specification, business practices and ethics, and construction documents. Students have worked on many projects on campus which help to bring practical experience to the classroom.

The Industrial and Interior Design Programs are a part of the School of Fine and Applied Arts at the University of Bridgeport, which also offers exceptional undergraduate programs in painting, sculpture, graphic arts and illustration, and music education-performance and jazz studies. If you are interested in these or other exciting undergraduate programs at the University of Bridgeport, please contact Ms. Josie Hauer in Admissions: (203) 576-4558; fax (203) 576-4672; e- mail: hauer@cse.bridgeport.edu -or you can use snail-mail to: 126 Park Ave., Bridgeport, CT 06601.

Tribal Messiahship

Contributed by Janine Jessop, Victoria, Australia

I appreciate the HWs so much and read every word several times over. I keep every one and consider the growing that our members are doing one of the most positive things happening in the dispensation right now!

I will always remember my 3-year-old son's first real prayer: "Thank you Heavenly Father for this good breakfast and thank you for giving me to my Mum."

Recently my father-in-law, a devout Baptist, asked me to write down an explanation of what our church "does with Jesus". This Easter I presented him with my response, which came out very simply and naturally, I thought. I began with my understanding of what a divine man is, what the mission of messiah involved, the necessity for the Jewish people to unify with him, etc.

What did surprise me, however, was how strongly the paragraphs on the spiritual battle between God and Satan came out. Spiritual warfare is a topic one sometimes hears in Christian churches, but mostly in relation to our contemporary efforts to live a Godly life. Despite the fact that there is so much evidence of it in the Bible, one rarely hears the Easter story ever spoken of as anything but the gradual unfolding of God's will!

Here are a few of the paragraphs that I included.

. . . A spiritual war was raging between God and Satan, with Satan just as determined to maintain his control over man as God was to reclaim His rightful parenthood. Since Jesus' birth, Satan had been plotting to kill him. Being fully aware how crucial Jesus' life and example were to God and to the establishment of His kingdom on earth, he was ever vigilant to find some human frailty to exploit and work through. He found the first common base in Herod, and through the terrible slaughter of the baby boys of Bethlehem, made his first attempt on Jesus' life.

When this was unsuccessful, we see many other instances of Satan's desperation. At the beginning of His mission, Jesus was confronted directly by Satan who enticed Him in every way possible to abandon his mission. When he realized he had no base in Jesus, he began looking for any weakness in the people. Those from Jesus' own hometown wanted to throw him over a cliff and the same crowds, who had previously flocked to listen to Him, were incited to cry out for His crucifixion.

Finally, we read that Satan entered Judas. Jesus himself said that It would have been better that Judas never be born than that he betray the Son of God!" We have to ask ourselves, "Did Satan want Jesus dead or alive? The answer is clearly dead! . . . .

Good luck to readers with Christian relatives. I'd love to hear of any breakthroughs you are having as tribal messiahs.

Herbs.

Contributed by Reed Darsey, Bayou La Batre, AL

Reed sent some advice from Kelly Johnson on medicinal herbs. She takes damiana, which is considered to be sort of a natural "upper" to clear up hormonal imbalance. This makes periods easier to deal with, marital relations much more enjoyable, and PMS virtually disappear. She also uses suma to provide more energy during the day and to help her sleep at night. Both should be used with care, as should all medicating substances.

Please share other tips about natural ways to enhance health.

Sunday School

Contributed by Lucia Anderson, Mesa, AZ

Teaching Sunday School to four blessed children 8-10 years old is a good chance for me to get back to the basics.

We spent one Sunday studying the Table of Contents. What does the Divine Principle tell about? Having the children present a lecture they just listened to is an exciting part of our program.

Now we are studying subject and object, which, to me, is a key concept of the Principle. Our goal as human beings is to be a perfect object to God. I realized perfect 100% means

To what degree are you objective to God? That is the degree of your perfection.

I realized that the identification of subject and object is not always cut and dried. Of course, we understand that the subject is initiating and causal, and the object is responsive and reflective. We also clearly understand that subject and object are equal in value; both are absolutely necessary for unity to take place; one is not better or more important than the other. And we realize these subjective and objective roles are constantly changing.

There are many questions. If you are aware of God speaking to you through your child, does that make your child the subject, at least for a moment? What are the responsibilities and qualities of a good subject? A good object? How do the Cain/Abel and central figure concepts tie in? Why is it important to desire to be a good object? Superficial answers do not satisfy me, or the children either.

I realized that these kinds of questions are the very reason having True Father and True Mother is so vital to us:

In them we can observe:

* someone who is a true object (100% objective) to God;

* someone whose mind and body are in perfect subject/object relationship; and

* a husband who is a true subject and a wife who is a true object.

Also, in the True Family the children are striving to be exemplary in relating to their parents.

This is why we must study the True Family: Never before have there been on the earth examples of true subjectivity and true objectivity for us to emulate!

The Lord's Prayer

Contributed by Arlene Candelaresi, Cincinnati, OH

My 5-year-old daughter Elishia wrote this by herself and was singing it one morning. I was so moved by the words that I wanted to share it with you all. She said she named it the "Lord's Prayer" because she heard a prayer with that name in Sunday School.

3 We pray to the Lord to give Him Hope.

We pray to the Lord to tell Him we love Him.

We pray to the Lord to tell Him we want True Parents' Kingdom on earth.

Amen!

1. I pray for spiritual fire to come and fill me, give me passion, awaken me, inspire my prayer.

2. I acknowledge and express gratitude to all the ancestors who have laid the foundation for me to be here. I repent for all the wrongs and evils of the past, and pledge to do my best to restore these.

3. I pray that I can fully understand my responsibility, and fulfill it.

4. Intercessory prayers: True Family, blessed couples, spouse, relatives, blessing candidates, trinity, tribe,

5. I pray for SPIRITUAL REVIVAL in the US and around the world. I pray for Christians to unite with True Parents and women around the world to fulfill their responsibility.

6. I pray for a renewed relationship with God's Words, a burning desire to substantiate the Principle, and rebirth through the Word.

7. Specific prayer requests, current projects, etc.

Ten Tips For Staying Young

Contributed by Victoria Clevenger

These condensed tips for living well and longer are taken from Ageless Body, Timeless Mind by Deepak Chopra, M.D., Harmony Books, Crown Publishers, Inc., 1993.

1. Listen to your body's wisdom. Ask your body how it feels about a certain behavior and be aware of a signal of comfort or discomfort.

2. Live in the present, fully accept what comes to you, appreciate and learn from it, and let it go.

3. Take time to be silent to contact your pure inner awareness and to be guided by intuition rather than external judgments.

4. Let go of your need for external approval. Your goal is to discover infinite worth in yourself, beyond anyone else's opinion.

5. Reacting with anger to a person or circumstance is a struggle with yourself. Relinquish this anger to heal yourself and cooperate with the flow of the universe.

6. The people you react to most strongly, whether with love or hate, are projections of your inner world. You hate what you most deny in yourself; you love what you most wish for in yourself. Use this mirror of relationships to guide your evolution to total self-knowledge.

7. Judging cuts off understanding and the process of learning to love. Don't judge; every person you forgive adds to your self-love.

8. Don't contaminate your body with toxins, either through food, drink, or toxic emotions. The health of every cell contributes to your state of well-being, because every cell is a point of awareness within the field of awareness that is you.

9. Replace fear-motivated behavior with behavior motivated by love. Knowing your own inner being, which is love, makes you invulnerable to fear.

10. The physical world is a mirror of a deeper intelligence. You cannot afford to live with a toxic mind, because every thought makes an impression on the whole field of intelligence. Living in balance and purity is the highest good for you and the earth.

Torrance Community Television Awards:

January 27, 1995, Torrance, California.

Portrait of Jesus-A Shade of Difference, produced by Hyo Jin Moon at Manhattan Center Studios, won first place in its category for videos produced outside of Torrance. This is an annual award for videos produced in Torrance, or "bicycled in" from other cities and shown on the Torrance Public Access Channel. The Program Director was very impressed, saying: "This looks like a show that would be shown on KCET." He asked to bring it back to play on TCTV for another two-week cycle.
