One Saturday in my home town in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, I had the crazy idea to have a book table by myself, with the books I have written and my husband’s books as well, in the middle of the French market. In a country that totally disrespect God, religions, and most especially new religions, new ideas.
The books are all in English. They are food for the soul. They testify about our life and why we do what we do. The books testified how I found true love, and God; how I was lost then found; how persecution built my character and gave me strength to stand my ground.
After 54 years of doing what I do, now I hear things in my heart soul. I can heal things. I have spiritual weapons no one can see. I can transform hate into love. Wherever I go I bring holy wine and sacred water.
In my childhood one of my good uncles, Uncle Jean, used to go frequently to Lourdes in southern France where he would drink and collect the miraculous water at the place where Saint Bernadette saw many apparitions of Virgin Mary. He always gave me some. I drank it thinking of the supernatural.
So, this market day in St Jean I was very brave. I was all alone if you look with your naked eye. But beside me there were a multitude of spiritual beings, supporting and cheering me like angels, saints from above, and good ancestors. Jesus always, Virgin Mary, and John the Baptist since St Jean was named after John the Baptist.
After one lady pointed finger at me in anger, another one came with deep pain and anguish representing all the people in this town. I listened and took in all the suffering for one hour. Love heals, love forgives, love renews our soul. She drank the holy wine and received the holy water, leaving all the pains in the stratosphere.
Love heals everything! Indeed, love heals everything!
Insight Stories
Insights into Marriage and Family
When my late husband, Dr. Dietrich Seidel, started working on his Ph.D. thesis on Marriage and Family our relationship greatly improved. It was because he did so much research into the topic and applied his findings to our daily life.
This month, I want to recommend to you “Unification Insights into Marriage and Family,” a collection of his writings. The family is so precious, and you need skills to navigate your life.
Here are some reviews to let you know more:
This book will make you think-and more importantly feel-what God’s hope is for humankind in terms of genuine love between human beings and God. It will help you discover a new understanding of the kind of love God wants to see expressed between husband and wife and among members of each and every family around the world, and how this can be achieved.
Dietrich Seidel is both a devoted husband and father and a consummate theologian and educator. In addition, he and his wife Elisabeth have been globe-trotting marriage and family coaches, offering seminars and workshops on improving marriages and overcoming self-centeredness in relationships. These experiences have uniquely qualified Seidel to write this book of essays.
As you read, you will find yourself transported from the fascinating details of his life presented in his autobiographical essay, to Olympian insights about how love develops between God and us (with our Herculean effort), to nuts-and-bolts pointers on how to strengthen the fiber of our love for our spouse as well as how to maintain a good give and take of love with our children.
All in all, it is hearty food for the intellect and for the soul.
~Robert Selle, writer, Washington DC.
Seidel’s work is remarkable for its scope and depth, its clarity and its personal touch. With writings ranging broadly from thoughtful scholarly analysis to devotional confession to wise guidance on family dynamics, this volume is a rich resource for anyone seeking greater understanding of Unification teachings, of one man’s spiritual journey or practical ideas for nurturing family harmony. A rich treasure from a deep-hearted scholar.
~Farley Jones, President, Pacific Rim Education Foundation
This collection of writings by academic Dietrich F. Seidel offers many highlights in the life of this remarkable man. His scholarly articles reveal his genuine intellect, devotion to God and desire to see harmony between religion and science. But it is his wise and passionate marriage writings that appeal to me, a lay marriage mentor. Dietrich understood that loving relationships are paramount to a happy, satisfying life—and well worth the investments of time, energy and affection. Anyone in search of sound advice about marriage and parenting will be well served by his words.
~Cheryl Wetzstein, veteran journalist, lay marriage mentor, wife and mother
Building a Culture of Heart
Love between husband and wife is eternal.
The love between husband and wife cannot be given to another. If it is, it will be destroyed.
Including God in our relationship will bring peace in the family, and ultimately peace in the world. This love then can expand to our neighborhood and together we build a culture of heart!
Experiencing Vibrational Healing in Las Vegas!
Lots of things happening in Las Vegas, some good, some not so good, and some really out of the ordinary.
I have been always interested in spiritual healing of any kind. Colors are healing for me. Gem vibrations bring me comfort and joy! An object that received good energy from the owner and was given with pure sincerity, I cherish.
My son, long ago, gave my husband and myself some very special socks bought in an exclusive shop with the right design that lifted up our spirits. They were bought and given with extra love! My daughter came back from Europe, where she played professional basketball, brought stones found on Italian beaches and French soil. We put all of them in a crystal vase and we all feel connected with these lands of my youth, my homelands.
So this weekend at the International Peace Education Center (IPEC) in Las Vegas there was healing going on from sicknesses and traumas from our past difficult ancestry, etc. Purifying our spirit of bad energies by tapping our shoulders and other parts of our body was energizing and refreshing.
Sounds can also heal and restore! Cleaning our environment at home by decluttering and cleansing around us create peace and love (good feng shui) and creates energy which assists the development of our soul. It is said that classical music has high vibrations for our good health.
I had medical “Ansu” on my back. I think this will be the future of medicine to advance progress in wellness for all humankind. Our health is also connected with evil entities attached to our organs and they need to be removed and replaced with good spirits entities around us which facilitate happiness and total well-being. To tell you the truth I did love my medical tapping.
Let’s create a heavenly environment on earth!
Christmas Healing and Declaration of the Five
When Beloved Jesus came to earth 2000 years ago it was not for nothing.
His method of healing was with True Love!
He was a parent.
He preached.
He prayed.
He healed.
He saved.
He promised he will come back.
He is coming back for something.
Why does Jesus have to come back?
It is all about love.
He needs to teach us how husband and wife can love each other for eternity.
Divorce will be a thing of the past.
Traumas will be things of the past.
Tears will dry up.
There will be complete and total healing of the original sin.
We as true children of our Heavenly Parent will regain our original position and build the kingdom on earth and in heaven.
Declaration of the Five
(five, five, twenty-five is the precursor of such an age!)
This year in May we had a French reunion at Andre and Raymonde’s home. We spent two days talking nonstop and listening to each other stories. This is the most efficient counseling method and most successful: talk therapy.
Sharing our hearts healed each other from wounds, pain, trauma, and the like! We could heal each other, then we could heal our land.
At the home of Andre and Raymonde Meyer, in Lake Elsinore, California:
Elisabeth Seidel
Agnes Rendel
Beatrice Yoshioka
Solange Weiss
Raymonde Meyer
Andre Meyer
Declaration of the Beloved French mothers, ancestors of the Golden Age, attending Holy Mother Han, declare:
As French True Mothers we are able to heal everything, including our nation’s sins and all the wrongs we make them right.
Process the pain, forgive.
The doors of the Kingdom of Heaven are opened for the first time and for everybody.
God, our Heavenly Parent, carries us in His Hand.
The Five want to take responsibility and be the guardians of True Love!
The Great Voltaire and Religious Freedom!
I just arrived in Geneva which is named the City of Peace.
We could only fly from sunny San Diego to Newark to Geneva with “United” because first, the name has meaning, and second, they said they “Fly the Friendly Skies.”
So, while we were flying up and away amid some turbulence over the Atlantic, my imagination travels up and I was wondering to myself why I did not yet gather some signatures from all the mayors and ministers and priests of the region to free and liberate the Mother of Peace from prison. The first word of our French republic is “liberty”! if it is unjust we can cry out for justice.
My friend Tia had reserved a hotel she said in the heart of Geneva where we could walk everywhere from there. After renting a car she only had to follow directions to go where we are supposed to go. It was 11 minutes from the airport.
The GPS took us somewhere else. I was sure she was making mistakes because she was following the arrows in the direction of France, which is not the center of Geneva!
The GPS took us to Ferney-Voltaire in France, 11 minutes from the airport to our hotel, 10 minutes walking distance from Château de Voltaire which I had no idea existed.
Tia said we are here for a reason. We were profusely greeted by two jumping for joy receptionists to receive American tourists to their enchanted place that I had to give them my card and bookmark advertising my books. They then became overly excited as they were expecting us.
They directed us to the Château de Voltaire. We could walk right there in the most gorgeous autumn weather. It is the most significant château where Voltaire (the famous French author) lived the remaining twenty years of his life in the calm and serene nature of the French Alps.
What I did not know about this famous man was that he and I shared the same passion about religious freedom. As we walked around his garden we read that at this very place he was gathering all the elite of Europe to talk about religious freedom. Voltaire truly encouraged me today to stand my ground! And to continue the work I am doing.
Famous spiritual beings have a way to tell me they are here with me. I sense some shivers in the back of my head and down my spine. They tell me we are all here with you. We are finishing our job with you. We are so proud of you. You go girl, you are worth it.

With teary eyes I went back to my room number 210 reading Voltaire’s words in the hallways decorating the place.
Truly we were meant to be here! And maybe yes I should collect signatures: I have a driver this time. I can go! Let’s liberate the Mother of Peace, Holy Mother Han.
I just met Mayor Philippe Rollet. He is smart, good hearted, good looking, and he wants his town to be warm so that young and old will be delighted! Since 4 years he has two books of mine on his shelf. I promise to bring the next one in French.
My 80th Birthday
My friends organized a wonderful celebration for my 80th birthday this month. I was so inspired by this speech my daughter Diesa gave, so I wanted to share it with you all.
Ladies and gentlemen, if I could have your attention for just a moment—I want to say a few words about someone very special tonight: my mom, or as I like to lovingly call her, The Queen Mother.
Now, some people earn a royal aura through titles or castles. My mom? She did it the old-fashioned way: with impeccable taste, high standards, and the ability to make everyone around her feel like they’re in the presence of greatness.
And let’s be honest—everything she does is authentic. If she laughs at a movie, it’s probably worthy of an Academy Award. If she says the dinner is delicious, that restaurant should probably be world-renowned. If she says it’s a beautiful day outside, well… you probably should have called in sick and gone outside immediately.
And it’s not just taste—my mom is extremely lucky. I mean, if she wants something, somehow, magically, it appears. Whether it’s getting the corner table by the window at a crowded restaurant, finding the perfect shirt on the sale rack in her size, or marrying the most incredible man on the planet, my Dad… My mom doesn’t just live life; she manifests it.
And of course, being a true Queen isn’t just about style, charm, and impeccable taste—it’s also about heart. Her empathy is genuine; not just for those close to her, but for all people throughout all countries.
It’s the kind of awareness and compassion you would expect from a queen: someone who understands that her influence can—and should—be used to make the world a little brighter, a little kinder, and a little more just.
Her combination of grace, courage, and empathy is exactly what makes her the Queen of our hearts.
So tonight, in celebration of her 80th birthday, let’s raise our glasses to my mom—the woman with impeccable taste, unstoppable luck, and a laugh that lights up the room. Long live the Queen Mother! May your reign continue for many more years filled with love, laughter, and all the finest things life has to offer.
Happy birthday, Mom!
Where to Live Well
I want to live in a garden somewhere, not in a cave.
After reading, and loving, the latest book by Dr. Jenny Tanabe My Reflections on Life and Other Important Matters I learned that Eve (of Eve and Adam our first ancestors) was living in a cave and that Cain was in pain.
In this story telling book of Genesis in the Bible, we all know the spooky happening of Eve’s mistake with the archangel Satan and the continuous dramas of how God placed angels at the gate of the garden of Eden that no one could enter! Certainly not Eve as because of her sin, and sins have consequences, or Adam who followed her in disobedience to God their creator and parent. So in a sense, what seems to be like a bedside story, is more like a horror movie of nowadays.
But the stories of Dr. Jenny have hope of deliverance, of a better tomorrow, of a successful ending. We all expect movies to have a happy ending, to be satisfied in the matters of love and heart.
You need to read those two special favorites of mine, “The Cave” and “Cain was in Pain.” You will learn also why Cain killed his beloved brother, and all the pain Cain went through. As mothers we want to embrace our children. we want peace and love. we want all wars to be terminated.
The solution? Let’s include God. our Heavenly Parent, as we go over the hill of the end of the providence of restoration into a world of hope and joy which resembles very much the Garden of Eden found again, or the opening of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Who Am I?
The question we all have since the beginning of time: WHO AM I?
On my way back to San Diego California, from Albany New York, on July 4th the plane was half full. I could relax and meditate, looking at the friendly skies from above.
Who am I?
First and foremost, I am a beloved daughter of God.
A woman chosen for such a time as this.
Like Joan of Arc, our French heroine, I cannot be defeated.
I do the impossible task of building the Kingdom of Heaven, right here on the earth.
I am my husband Dietrich’s eternal wife.
I give love wherever I go, because it was given to me abundantly.
I am a mother who gave life to two children.
I am Christopher’s beloved mother.
I am Diesa’s beloved mother.
I am a tribe mother.
I gave life to 43 blessed couples.
I gave life to 430 couples as tribe members.
I gave new life to 430 ancestor couples.
I am so blessed to be a Mother.
Our tribe’s motto is:
“Opening the gates of Heaven with Holy Mother Han, the mother of peace, by supporting each other.”
This is who I think I am.
Think Yourself Well!
In 1987 Rev. Moon had a meeting with health professionals before opening a hospital. He saw the real impact in curing disease is from the spiritual factor. In other words, the mind. If a man becomes sick and choose to lives in nature, like in the mountains, and has a strong will and spirituality, he can live well there and overcome his sickness.
If you go to church then your mind is so happy that you forget you have an illness, that can be one of the best cures. Spirituality makes your spirit strong which gives vitality elements to your body!
In her book Mind Over Medicine, Lissa Rankin said:
- Change your thoughts
- Change your behaviors
- Change your biochemistry.
Our mind can make us sick, and it can make us well. Our feelings and beliefs impact our every cell. See yourself happy, whole, and at ease.
Our thoughts hold more medicine than many of the astonishing medical breakthroughs of our time.
Hope heals.
Happiness is preventative medicine.
Whether or not we feel and express love affects our well-being.
Infants’ material needs can be met, like being well fed, having appropriate clothing, etc., but if they are left alone in their crib, ignored, and not loved, they can die very quickly. That’s why the school of love is the family.
My grandma Marie was dropped off at the orphanage in Lyon, I believe by her birth mother. Because I also believe her birth father could not, or decided not to, take responsibility for love.
My grandma found adoptive parents who loved her as their own daughter amidst many other children of their own. They restored hope and happiness in her, gave her a dowry when she married, and she became my beloved grandma.
The family is the school of love. The clan and tribe continue a loving community, and at church you find larger social networks.
Healthy relationships are medicine for the mind. Think yourself well!
