A physical lineage from Moon for all the ‘Saints or Sages’?

At the September 2011 dedication of the statues Hyung Jin Moon said: “Through the power of the blessing of marriage... he has enshrined the four great sages, saints, as part of the Unification Tradition.”
Father’s plans to impregnate Mrs. Jesus back in 1978. “She was a Korean woman [Chung-soon Chang] assigned by Reverend Moon to be the wife of Jesus back in the 1970s. He wanted to have children for Jesus through this woman but Mother and Ye Jin Moon found out about the plan and a big row broke out. Apparently, Mother threatened to leave Father if he went ahead with it.
It comes from a conversation that Dennis and Doris Orme [leaders of the Unification Church in Britain at the time] had with Mrs. Won-pok Choi. Mrs. Choi told them that Mother and Ye Jin Nim had found out about Father’s plans to do Mrs. Jesus, and that this was why True Parents had been arguing so heatedly. That was 1978.” Graham C. Lester
Moon had a child with Myung-hee Kim (married to Socrates). Moon took measures to give a lineage to Won-pok Choi (married to Buddha). Did Hyun-shil Kang (married to St Augustine) have a child with Moon? Did the other women, or their direct relatives, have had children with Moon? As Hyung Jin Moon has explained, the more pikareum womb cleansing and the more children Moon begot, the faster the removal of original sin from humankind could progress.
What is the significance of the photo below, with the six wives of the sages? Did Moon see it as his mission to give each sage a physical ‘sinless’ lineage on earth through these women? Did all the women, directly or indirectly, have children with Moon, thereby qualifying to be wives of the sages?
Chung-hwa Pak wrote in chapter 5 of his book the Tragedy of the Six Marys “Moon made 11 women pregnant who gave birth to children, all under the name of the marriage supper of the lamb.”

Moon married these six women to religious leaders, or sages, in the spirit world. For many years Won-bok Choi was known as ‘Second Mother’. For a long time her bedroom was next to Moon’s. According to Hyung Jin Moon, his father, Sun Myung Moon, had pikareum and yongch’e sex rituals with all of ‘Six Marys’ –and many other women – to cleanse them of original sin. Yongch’e imparts a new spirit body which would enable these women to then ‘restore’ the sages in the spirit world. This would make a connection between these sages and Moon. The sages would owe their salvation, through their Moon-given wives, to Moon, and would therefore submit to him.
It is a shamanic practise to mobilize leaders (often military leaders) in the spiritual world to work with the shaman to achieve the shaman’s goals. The favors of the spirits are gained through performing rituals and ceremonies. Moon practised such shaman ceremonies.
By marrying these women to ‘Sages,’ and giving them ‘providential’ positions, Moon locked the women into roles in his restoration narrative.

Kirsti L. Nevalainen, Change of Blood Lineage through Ritual Sex in the Unification Church ISBN: 978-1439261538
“Sun Myung Moon, the founder of the Unification Church, has declared himself as the Messiah and Lord of the Second Advent. He claims he has come as the Messiah at the end of the world as the Bible prophesied. He saves fallen satanic people by removing the original sin from them through The Blessing of Marriage ceremony. The Blessing of Marriage ceremony of the Unification Church is directly derivative from the pigarum [pikareum] or yongch’e ceremony of Korean messianic groups from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. A [pikareum] ceremony means ‘change of blood lineage’ and a yongch’e ceremony means ‘receiving a new spiritual body’. A male spiritual leader united sexually with his female disciples and a female spiritual leader had ritual sex with her male followers. The Unification Church practiced the [pikareum] or yongch’e ceremony from the 1940s until 1962 when The Holy Wine Ceremony and The Three Day Ceremony replaced this original sexual ritual. Both of these ceremonies are integral parts of The Blessing of Marriage.”

Unification Theology and Religious Syncretism
“The most fascinating example of religious syncretism in Korea is the Unification Church. Sun Myung Moon openly confesses that his special revelation, although primarily Christian, integrates the best aspects of Buddhism and Confucianism. Unificationist metaphysics especially shows the influence of Eastern dipolar concepts of reality and deity. Furthermore, the Rev. Moon boasts about his claim that he is a Korean shaman – in the best sense of that word of course.”
Nick Gier – Professor Emeritus, Department of Philosophy, University of Idaho, USA
“Moon the shaman Another of Moon’s identities is the shaman, who claims to have journeyed to the spirit world, where he met many religious figures, and conversed with God, Jesus and Satan. The discovery of Satan’s “secret crime” — allegedly the consequence of prolonged conversations with Satan, culminating in the discovery that Eve and Satan had a sexual relationship, which led to the “Fall of Man” — has been crucial to Unificationist theology. Surprisingly, however, there is no mention of Moon’s shamanic activities [in his Autobiography], despite the fact that the movement’s emphasis on spiritism appears to be increasing rather than decreasing. Heung Jin’s death in 1983 was followed by members purportedly receiving messages from his “returning resurrection” and, after the death of Moon’s mother-in-law — known to members as Dae Mo Nim (“revered mother”) — a large shrine and pilgrimage centre was opened at Cheongpyung in Korea, where a medium called Hyo Nam Kim mediated messages from her, and where members were sent for extended periods of training in the Principle.”

Introduction to ‘The Unification Church in America – A Bibliography and Research Guide’ 1987
“One, however, cannot fully understand the resonance of Rev. Moon’s thought, particularly in Korea and Japan, without understanding the importance of an indigenous shamanism in these countries. Shamanism is Korea’s oldest and one of the most important indigenous religions. In its expression the shaman, a priest, communicates with spirits or deities while entranced. Koreans under foreign subservience have always felt a special security in their indigenous guardians against evil spirits and misfortune, and Dr. Young Oon Kim asserts that Koreans of all classes have turned to the Mudangs (shamans) for guidance in periods of stress (Kim, Y.O. 1976, vol. 3: 175). I have also observed that many Americans have turned to Spiritualistic mediums in times of similar need. Spiritualism, akin to shamanism, and also an indigenous American religion, has as its protectors the native American Indian guides who speak through the medium. Rev. Moon’s asserted ability to communicate with the spirit world makes the Unification Church related to both shamanism and spiritualism.”
J. Stillson Judah, Professor Emeritus, History of Religions, Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.
“Neither Mrs. Moon’s leadership nor Hoon Mo Nim’s ministry [in the body of Hyo-nam Kim], however, can be seen as “feminist” in the western sense. Hoon Mo Nim’s ministry, which is essentially shamanistic, is in many ways typical of the traditional spiritual role of women in Korea’s male chauvinist society.”
