During the workshop, one night while I was lying down, I tearfully asked God if I should stick around with the “Moonies,” or continue on to Alaska. That night I had a dream in which I was sleeping in a dumpster amongst the trash. I could see a giant walking towards me. As he approached me, I could see that the giant was Reverend Moon! In the dream, he reached down and gently picked me up and placed me in a beautiful garden. While in the garden I could feel a deep sense of peace. I felt God’s love. I felt reborn! The next morning, my pillow was soaked from my tears. That day I shaved my beard, cut my hair, and joined the Unification Church.
