My Father is no
fool, whatever I do He is swift to cultivate the good
and prune out the bad. I need to write this as a way
to clear my thoughts on what has transpired since
my last entry. In my efforts to secure basic things
like on going work with children, basic health care
and employment security it appears that I have made
a an error. Because of my faith I believe it is right
to honor promises made and in my present situation,
I made a commitment to return to Korea to teach knowing
a time lay ahead in the US when school breaks make
it difficult to maintain contact with students. However,
I have mentioned that I returned to the US in an effort
to impart the love a security I knew in Korean culture
to a world of needy people in the west. What I have
returned to is the antithesis of that love and security
I once knew in Korean culture. I find myself in a
frightening world with a frantic process in action
that now makes sense of what I suspected while back
in the US.
Koreans here are in a frenzy of disorganized
building, spending and wasting of energies on all
levels including financial, human efforts but most
frightening, spiritual honesty and integrity. As I
saw in the US, Koreans are using the obfuscation afforded
by the churches they affiliate with as a channels
to facilitate the mass immigration efforts. There
is no sense of Godly purity in these church groups
but rather a pseudo-Christian facade which they put
forth to hide these efforts to get Koreans into the
west.
I now find myself right in the middle
of the most intense effort to copy conservative Christian
practices, imitate every nuance of its appearance
with the shocking realization that some of the most
honored and trusted western Bible Colleges and Seminaries
are being bought out by very powerful and influential
Korean power holders. The school where I find myself
has many frighten and confused western teachers all
running around acting as building workers and common
laborers to haul desks, chairs and books up many flights
of stairs in fridge buildings that are being bought
quickly and moved into while work on building is still
going on. All teachers including myself are expected
to have organized lessons ready in two days without
academic resources to accomplish this goal.
Koreans are not fools, they find that
the west affords protection of religious groups and
as with many other cults they populate the host country
with their people who will assimilate every corner
of the west by taking advantage of the legal protections.
My trip here has been a shock awakening
to something I fell asleep to while in the States.
The unfortunate thing is westerners can't tell the
difference between Koreans and other Asian people
especially the Chinese and Japanese. Koreans are the
only group with people in their churches and businesses
that have clearly told me that they are making their
way into the west for the prime objective to take
over while the west is at its weak point having polluted
itself with drugs, immorality and family decay.
One part of me sees their efforts as
a cure to some of the problems in the west but now
that I'm here, I realize that if money can be made
from an already established western activity, they
will use that practice to gain more money even though
it be illegal; this includes prostitution, selling
drug related paraphernalia.
Writing this is like trying to observe
the frenzied activity of piranhas feasting on a trapped
beast it its waters. I will chalk my current situation
up to an effort to keep a promise to a contract that
proved to be contrary to God's will as I packed just
two days before departure. I don't know how I will
get out as I get closer and closer to the gleaning
sweeps of many sharp teeth trying to detect if I viable
bait. I must trust that He who watches over His children
watches over me and I plead for His mercy and forgiveness
with hopes of escape.
