Truth and Sincerity
The World Research Institute for Science and Technology was formed by Rev. Sun Myung Moon in the early 1980’s. Although various projects have been undertaken with varying degrees of technical and financial success, the most important assignment has been the making of a “Spirit World Machine”.
As “homework” for this project, we were asked to study “how mediums do what they do”. As I was studying the top character for “Truth” in the calligraphy for W.R.I.S.T., it reminded me of the symbol for OM (or AUM) in Hinduism and Buddhism. Thus began my attempt to understand inter-religious mysticism, which resulted in the formation of this notebook.
