In the immediate post-war period, Moon moved to southern Korea and joined a mystical sect called '''Israel Suo-won''', which preached the imminent arrival of a Korean [[messiah]] and engaged in a sexual ritual called "pikarume," in which the ministers purified women through sexual intercourse, the so-called "blessing of the womb."<ref>Robert Parry [http://www.consortiumnews.com/archive/moon4.html ''Dark Side of Rev.

==The Tragedy of the Six Marys==

In ''The Tragedy of the Six Marys'' one of the earliest Moon disciples, Pak Chung Hwa, detailed the Unification Church teaching of Moon that Jesus was supposed to save mankind by having sex with six ''already-married'' women who would then have sex with other men who would pass on the purification to other women until, eventually, all mankind would have pure blood. Pak related that Moon took on this responsibility as the "second messiah" but abused the practice by turning the "six Marys" into a kind of "rotating sex club". Moon's first wife divorced him after catching him in one of these sex rituals. Pak estimated that there were at least 60 "Marys," many of whom ended up destitute after Moon discarded them. When Moon impregnated one of the women, he sent her to Japan where she gave birth to a boy, Hee Jin Moon. Moon later admitted fathering the child, who died in a train crash at the age of 13. But Pak wrote that Moon refused to admit responsibility for other illegitimate children born to the women.

Through this teaching, he violated mothers, their daughters and their sisters, Pak claimed, but the sexual activity apparently did help in recruiting men to the church. By the early 1960s, the church was pulling in better educated young men, including some with connections to South Korea's intelligence agency, the KCIA.

Moon has been monitored by U.S. law-enforcement and intelligence agencies since the 1960s and '70s, considering him a potential national security threat to the United States. Reports by the [[CIA]], the [[FBI]] and the [[Defense Intelligence Agency]] demonstrated his close ties to [[South Korea|South Korea's]] brutal intelligence service, the KCIA, as well as to prominent right-wing industrialists linked to the [[Yakuza]], the [[Japan]]ese [[mafia]].<ref>ibid</ref>

Rev. Sun Myung Moon and Mrs. Hak Ja Han Moon

Rev. Sun Myung Moon (b.1920, Korea) is the head of the Unification Church (the "Moonies") and the founder of the Washington Times. He claims that at the age of 15, Jesus visited him and asked him to continue the work He had started 2000 years earlier.[1] During a sermon, Rev. Moon asked any Jews present to raise their hands. When they did, he told them to repent for killing Jesus and claimed that it was as an "indemnity" for this that 6 million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust.[2] During a visit to the United States, he engaged in a controversial ceremony in which a Congressman crowned him.

Childhood

Where does Father come from? In his childhood, he lived deep in the North Korean countryside, in a mountain valley, a place called Chung Ju. He was a small king; he went all over the valley catching every kind of animal. He really explored the area. There is no fish he didn't know. His radius was a ten-mile area, a big territory for a child. If he didn't know everything about the area-who was living there and what they were doing-he couldn't sleep. Every morning he would go out and explore some more. That is the kind of personality he has. When there was a bully who gave a hard time to the other children, even though Father was very small, he fought against him and protected the smaller children. - Rev. Sun Myung Moon, In Yun and Encounter [1]
