Just finished reading Kerry's excellent response to Dr. Wilson - and I have to say I fully agree with her. This is not to side with one side or the other for we all need each other. For me, much of this discussion boils down to 'Who wrote the DP'? Who thought and prayed in a desperate attempt to understand the reality of the human experience. We wouldn't be together as friends and brothers and sisters if it wasn't for the insights that we all found there. We all must have fell in love with the Principle, and the ideal of TP's, and it's wonderful to have friends who you can deeply trust, and a group that help you rear your children.
For me, if I was looking at TM as an ordinary woman who lived next door, I would would say she has bonding traumas with her father. When a daughter, as a young girl, doesn't develop a strong inner model of the wonders of masculinity (through her father) then it is much harder to value and treasure masculinity later in life. You feel you can 'survive' without it, discard it ('I don't need my daddy's love' - this is just another way of saying 'my pain is too great. Why doesn't he love me'). I cannot say this is what is happening here, but it has all the signals of this bonding trauma.
If this is true, then all Andrew is doing is enabling TM's bonding trauma. And the more people believe and support her 'traumaed' view of reality, the more it will become part of the essence of the movement - and our children and grandchildren will sadly pay the price - just as Eve's traumaed view of reality created pain as it entered into the world. Feminism is way off base because, as Kerry says say, women can only be raised up through a living, honest, loving relationship with men, and men can only be raised up in a living, honest, loving relationship with women. And a living relationship is not one side shouting at the other through a loudspeaker and a living, loving, relationship is not 'putting your husband or men down' in front of the children. The best we can do, as parents, is to help our children see the good in their mother or father - to treasure the good and honor the good - for then the children can honor and treasure the good inside themselves - the good they inherited from each of their parents.
For some reason TM seems not to be able to value and honor the amazing good in her husband and the main suspect for this breach in natural law has to be her lack of a warm bond with her father. Saying this takes nothing away from her amazing accomplishments. We have to honor the amazing in TM in her position of bride. It just means we can't allow the trauma to become an essential theme within the movement itself. It has to be fought.
For me, the only way it can be fought is through the unity of three, Godly sons. If the three sons of Adam and Eve had united in an attempt to overcome the warping of reality they were experiencing, and if they all had built loving relationships with their wives, for sure human history would have been different. But unity among the sons - now that's a hard one (not to mention three God centered husband-wife relationships). The sons have to overcome the very strong historical patterns of Cain and Abel - they have to restore the positions of Cain and Abel. Only the energy created by the unity of three Godly sons can stop the traumatization of Eve taking over the providence. If my analysis is in any way correct - then HJN's task is clear. To love his wife. To build bridges with two other brothers who honor the good that their father embodied. And to help members stay aware of and remember the wonders of his mother and father in relationship. God will do the rest because God works when the Principle is expressed in all its beauty.
When True Mother then sees the beauty that her sons have brought about, she too can then get on the path of self-healing - on the road to value masculinity - Godly masculinity - and she is then much freer to work on and restore that which was never developed in her.
