SUMMARY:Rev. Moon's Early Writings on Science
DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE RECORDING! \nHJ International Graduate School for Peace and Public Leadership is pleased to co-host a special program with the Higher Purpose Forum (HPF). We invite you to register for Rev. Moon’s Early Writings on Science to be held on May 7 at 7 PM ET. \nMr. James Edgerly\, Director of Higher Purpose Forum will be the host of this event. \nDr. Andrew Wilson\, HJI Professor of Scriptural Studies\, will cover specific topics of the Principle’s treatment of scientific topics as conveyed in the Wolli Wonbon. These will include: elemental forces of gravity and electromagnetism\, planetary motion\, incandescent color\, and applications to human psychology. \nWilliam Lay\, JD\, Adjunct Professor of Criminal Justice and Human Secuirty\, HJI will be the respondent. \nRev. Moon’s (as yet unpublished) first manuscript of Divine Principle (titled Wolli Wonbon)\, which he wrote in 1951-52\, devotes more than 100 pages to science. Topics range from astronomy to evolution\, from electro-magnetism to animal behavior to psychology. \nIn the background of Wolli Wonbon is Rev. Moon’s own life experience\, first as a student of electrical engineering at a school connected to Waseda University in Japan\, and then as a prisoner in the Heungnam Prison Camp in North Korea where he was subjected to many hours of indoctrination in Marxist dialectical materialism.  At the start of his ministry\, Rev. Moon saw a need to put forward “the Principle”\, as both a rigorous counterproposal to dialectical ideologies and a worldview that could be the basis for working towards a future of peace and harmony. \nThe program will conclude with a Q&A with the audience. We look forward to seeing you at this event! \n

SUMMARY:Science Within the Consciousness of God
DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE RECORDING! \nHJ International Graduate School for Peace and Public Leadership is pleased to co-host a special program with the Higher Purpose Forum (HPF). We invite you to register for the presentation on “Science Within the Consciousness of God” to be held on May 21 at 7 PM ET.  \nMr. James Edgerly\, Director of Higher Purpose Forum will be the host of this event. \nMs. Alison Wakelin\, Widener University Assistant Teaching Professor will be the main presenter. She will speak on the various paths taken by scientists to find a holistic perspective to complement the reductionist model\, and if Unification principles offer a path toward incorporating a wider model of reality. \nDr. Andrew Wilson\, HJI Professor of Scriptural Studies will be the respondent. \nFollowing challenges to Newton’s mechanistic model of the universe\, the early twentieth century offered the possibility of a new perspective via Quantum Mechanics and Relativity. However\, physics turned to an instrumental approach rather than understanding the deeper implications of the new theories. The primary concern became the prediction of the outcome of experiments rather than incorporating purpose\, meaning and consciousness. \nThe program will conclude with a Q&A with the audience. We look forward to seeing you at this event!
