The Updated Preface to my Upcoming Book "Scientific Godism: A New Theory of Everything as One"

This booklet is part of the fruit of my lifelong search to understand the question: why Africa, one of the richest continents on planet Earth, has been relegated to a perpetual state of conflict, cumulating into our 21st-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 of useless civil conflicts, I chose the path of religion in search of my answers. I challenge God himself 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 asking God for new truth. I told him “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. 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 suffering and great sacrifice to my family, nation, and continent, but I felt that God was personally answering my questions about Africa by showing me his side of the story, 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 unique new view of GOD beyond just faith and evangelism. Most Africans are spiritual people who love “GOD” via many spiritual paths. However, with our history as the root of modern civilization, I began to wonder, why are we still at the bottom billion of human society? I came to realize that this sad state of suffering was linked to our soft hearts and ignorance of God’s true heart as our Parents. We love God but are ignorant of God. There is a saying in Africa: “The Whiteman brought us the bible and took everything else”[1]. But the truth is, even after our liberation from slavery, our democratically elected leaders continued the traditions of their former slave masters, again (in my opinion) because of the ignorance of the masses[2] and their own inner ignorance of God’s heart.

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. This ignorance has kept us in the dark about our true responsibility as “children of a living God”[3]. Realizing this truth I promised God, after my various physical and spiritual tests and training 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 me more than my 33 years of life in a war-torn nation. I then entered a state of deep reflection and meditation seeking to know what I had done wrong and what would be the best way to reconcile our national impasse with conflicts relative to peace and development. The Bible was clear in John 8:23 “And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free”.

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 the poor results in the midst of great victory for traditional religions. So 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 the inaugural Dean of the College of Engineering. During this period, I came to realize the power of science and technology as a new tool for enlightenment, peace, and development in Africa. 

The ideas of this book were conceived from an academic environment. I realized that science is more convincing than religion because it does not require faith, but instead relies on logic, mathematics, and perceivable evidence from the world around us. 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?” Gradually I started thinking of STEM education which was becoming popular in the academic community. I started thinking that Godism could be taught via scientific and engineering design methods.

This book series and others soon to follow are part of my personal ongoing research on the topic of sustainability and renewable energy systems. I hope to use Godism and the Conservation of energy law, 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 certain it will not provide the hope we need for eternal life. It is my sincere hope, through Scientific Godism, to empower a future generation of Liberians and Africans to take the responsibility originally given to Adam and Eve as their modern-day CROSS from Lord Jesus Christ. Together I believe we can collectively build a new Africa. While our present corrupt leaders are stuck in the darkness of entropy and decay, I believe that centered on Godism a new breed of African leaders will find a pathway to sustainable and renewable engineering technology and development in harmony with God’s way of life. Under these new leaders a new era of freedom and abundance will open up 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 challenge my reasoning. The beauty of science as compared to religion is the power of the TRUTH (as Light) to remove the darkness (as ignorance) revealing the true fiber of reality as structured energy under the control of the Godhead (Rom 1:20). In this way science does not require faith but only understanding (Proverb 6:32). Love you all forever.

[2] 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
