Preface

This booklet series is part of the fruit of my lifelong search to understand the question: why has Africa, one of the riches continents on the planet ruled by Negros, been relegated to a perpetual state of conflict, cumulating into our 21^st century position of rampant disease, ignorance, and poverty? I call this final state the DIP-state of human existence. Though I was trained as an Electrical Engineer; after my country went through a 27-year period (1980 to 2007) of unnecessary civil conflicts, I choice the path of religion in search of my answers. I challenged God personally to talk to me or forever hold his peace. In 1979 while working towards my doctorate degree at Northeastern University, I meet the Unification Movement. I did a three-day fast and prayer telling God “I want new truth, and if you didn’t talk to me after this fast, then you can very well forget about me as a Christian”. I was disillusioned with my faith, but miraculously my challenge was answered through the teaching of Godism.

Over a 33-year period (1979 to 2012), led by prayers and the spirit of Lord Jesus Christ, I came to know the true but painful story of God himself and who Rev Dr & Mrs. Sun Myung Moon were, relative to God’s search for a tabernacle through whom He could manifest his physical presence on earth (Rev 21:1-5). I came to know them as the True Parents of heaven, Earth, and humankind. This awakening came about through a life of personal suffering, and great sacrifice to my family, nation, and continent; but I felt that God was personally answering my question about Africa by showing me his side of the story[1]. Thus, I learned to see Godism as the study of God’s viewpoint about life.

With my new personal awakening and concern for Africa, I came to understand that the future of Africa required a new view of GOD beyond just faith, deliverance, and evangelism. Most Africans are spiritual people who vehemently love “GOD” via many spiritual paths, but with our history as the root of modern civilization, I began to wonder, why are we still in the bottom billion of human society? I came to realize that this current state of suffering was linked to our soft (child-like) heart and ignorance of God’s true heart as our Heavenly Parents. We love God but we are ignorant of the True God[2]. There is a saying in Africa: “the Whiteman brought us the bible and took everything else”[3]. But the truth is, even after our liberation from slavery, our democratically elected leaders continued the traditions of their former slave masters as a sign of loyalty.

It is only recently that Africa Is Awakening[4] (AIA/ AФA) to the truth that we are the OWNERS OF THIS LAND given to us by Heavenly Parents. Again, in my opinion this unfounded loyalty  to the Slave Masters was done because of the ignorance of the masses[5] and the leader’s own inner ignorance of God’s true heart and our position as children of a living God. Had they been taught the bible as Godism is taught today, I sincerely believe our ancestors would have been able to transform Africa into a shining continent of great hope for global peace and development instead of the bottom billion position it holds today.

So, through my years of searching for the truth about Africa, I came to realize our ignorance of God’s heart and will is the true cause of our suffering. We are like orphans in a wilderness without True Parental leadership to guide us back to Eden on Earth. This ignorance has also kept us in the dark about our true responsibility as “children of God”[6]. Realizing these truths, I promised God after my various physical and spiritual test and training with the Unification Movement from 1979 to 1994 that I would work to liberate my people in Liberia with the TRUTH of Godism.

After trying to fulfill this promise through the religious path…even serving on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Liberia, I realized in 2012 with the passing of Rev Dr. Moon that I had failed in my promise. Father Moon’s passing traumatized[7] me more than the 33 years of life in my war-torn nation. To see such a great light of truth and love leave this world with so little recognition made me realize how difficult it would be for the physical salvation of humankind without a new view of God as Man. A view supported by the Holy bible in many places[8].

This traumatization led me into a state of deep reflection and meditation from 2012 to 2021 seeking to know what more could be done for the physical salvation of humankind. Just telling people about True Parents as the second coming of Lord Jesus was not working. It appeared to me this was a sign of our misguided faith in the bible linked to religion institutions. I felt something was missing from our current way of teaching about God and faith. Eventually I felt conflicted inside of myself even though my faith in Godism was absolute.  

During this conflicted period, I basically stopped witnessing to people as I searched for a new spiritual awakening. I began to ponder on a better way to reconcile our national impasse with faith versus our daily lifestyle and desire for happiness and peaceful co-existence. The bible is clear in John 8:23 “And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free”. The question on my mind was…why aren’t people ready and willing to receive the truth of Godism?

I knew the power of Divine Principle as the TRUTH that set me free, yet after 33 years of witnessing to my family and people using GODISM, I was surprised to see such poor results in the mist of great victory for traditional religions and the evangelical groups, preaching prosperity and holy ghost cleansing and deliverance. Few people could grasp the message of Godism as I had. While in my state of reflection I took a job at the WVS Tubman University as Dean of College of Engineering. There I came to realize the power of science and technology as a new tool for enlightenment, peace, and development for Africa. 

… “what if I could teach Godism in a way that would naturally reveal the existence and nature of God as our Heavenly Parents?”

The idea of this book was conceived from an academic environment. I realized that science is more convincing than religion because it does not require faith[9], but instead relies on pure logic, mathematics, and perceivable evidence of reality gleamed from the world around us. With this mindset I started thinking… “what if I could teach Godism in a way that would naturally reveal the existence and nature of God as our Heavenly Parents?” Suddenly STEM education came to mind [10]. In 2001 the national science foundation (NSF) in America introduced this acronym as a focal point to boost education for development worldwide. I started thinking that Godism could likewise be taught via the scientific and engineering design methods.

This book and others soon to follow is part of my personal ongoing research on the topic of sustainability and renewable energy systems. I hope to use Godism and the law of Conservation of energy to show beyond reasonable doubt that before the Big Bang there was GOD as the source of all energy. Most physicists are afraid to admit this, so they continue to search for a Theory Of Everything (TOE) without God. While I accept this is theoretically possible, I am also certain it will not provide the New H.O.P.E. (of Heaven On Planet Earth) humanity needs for eternal life[11]. It is my sincere hope, through Scientific Godism, to awaken and empower a future generation of Liberians, Africans, and Peace-loving global citizens to take the modern-day responsibility of removing Lord Jesus Christ from the CROSS he bore for our sins, by bearing that cross individually through His Imaging.

This I believe is what Rev Dr Sun Myung Moon did after his easter prayer as a sixteen-year-old child in North Korea.  And this is what Father and Mother Moon are asking each of us to do by 2027. Together I believe this generation of Peace-loving Global Citizens can collectively build a new spiritual and technologically advance society synonymous to a New Heaven & Earth[12]. While our present global leaders are stuck in the darkness of positive entropy as decay, linked to the global pandemic wrath of the coronavirus, I believe centered on Scientific Godism a new breed of Africa leaders will rise capable of propelling humankind along a new pathway to sustainable global peace and renewable engineering technology for development. Of course, this must all be done in harmony with God’s way of life via the negative entropy pathway of True Love. Under these new leaders a new era of freedom and abundance will open to mankind, from a SPIRITUAL and PHYSICAL ENERGY perspective; plus, the new-found wisdom (as LIGHT) of GODISM is destined to show us the path to TRUE JUSTICE and LOVE for all.  Please feel free to ponder every thought and to challenge my reasoning. For the beauty of science as compared to religion is the power of the TRUTH (as Light) to remove the IGNORANCE (as darkness) centered on a preponderance of evidence, revealing the true fiber of reality as structured energy of Mundane light. In this way science does not require faith but only an understanding of Divine Wisdom linked to imagination. It is said Albert Einstein once said, “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere”.

While many have contributed indirectly via diverse interrelationships to this quest to know God as our Heavenly Parents, I wish to give acknowledgement to the Holy Spirit as my true source of inspiration. Love you all forever.

Luk 11:9-13:  “And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you… For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened… If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? …  Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?… If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?”

[1] I came to understand why the path of suffering and sacrifice was essential to anyone seeking to understand the true heart of God as our Heavenly Parents. In hindsight I came to realize my personal suffering was nothing compared to the suffering of God and those chosen to represent Him in the flesh.

[2] John 17:3 “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ , whom thou hast set.”

[3] My personal expression of a generally accepted truth about the colonization of Africa.

[4] In most of my research inspirations came to me through acronyms. In 1975 I started my master’s degree in Power System Analysis at Ohio State University where I also pledged for a black society called Alpha Phi Alpha (AФA). In hindsight I realized spiritually this organization was a brotherhood seeking for the liberation of Black People as in the very name oof Liberia (Liberty in Africa). Notice how my Africa Is Awakening mantra AIA resembles AФA. Also both my birth Father (ECB Jones Sr) and my Grandmother on the Coleman side (Agnes Jones) were Jones, as was one of the founding Jewels of Alpha Phi Alpha:  Eugene Kinckle Jones.  

[5] Have you ever wondered why most of the African leaders are complacent with the ignorance of the masses? I believe it is an expression of their own immaturity, their lack of parental heart as leaders. Recent development index shows that over 75% of the nations in Africa are at the bottom of the Human Development Index (HDI): http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/human_development.htm

[6] Mt 5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God”.

[7] Later I came to realize that Father Moon’s passing served as a wake-up call from slow spiritual death. Details can be found on my personal web page under confessions.

[8] An example of this can be found in John 4:4; I Cor 3:16 and John 10:31 “… Is it not  written in your laws I said, Ye are gods”

[9] In fact, I have come to believe that science is better for this. The scientific method requires observations, experimentation and the application of logical deductions based on evidential findings. With faith scientist would be open to error based on mental suggestions. In an indiscipline society not knowing the truth of God’s will, evil would lead goodness astray for its selfish purpose. Look at the new phenomena of “fake news” and “conspiracy theories” used by journalist to propagate diverse views of reality. It was in this way that the bible was distorted and thus lead to the rise of many denominations. I believe Heaven had the bible written in symbolism and parables to protect key truth from being distorted by evil. With the coming of the Lord of the Second Coming with the GOD CODE KEY as his ID-card, there would be no way to distort the TRUTH anymore. This is why the bible states in Rev 19:11, 13 that the Lord of the Second Coming (the Man on the White Horse) would be named “Faithful and True and in Righteousness he does judge and make war” also his battle would leave his clothes dipped in blood with a name “the WORD of GOD”.
