I live in a place full of retards. It's art , it's a form of expression and right next to it is an oversized ugly, well ugly in my book, Catholic church. I miss the statue, it made me think that just maybe we all get a voice our spiritual views.
@nmg70nmg If the welcome station hadn't been zoned as a "caretakers residence"...if the welcome was a non-profit church...if the MAGO people hadn't misled the building commission too many times, it would have been considered for its spiritual meaning. Since MAGO in Cottonwood is a for profit business, fairness had to treat MAGO folks the same as all of the other for-profit businesses in Cottonwood. You are right. It was retarded for MAGO to lie and con through the whole affair. Honesty is smart.
Keep it a legal thing or read the bible matt. 7:12 and see how you just justified pulling down Christan symbols ( crosses and marked graves come to mind ).
still the guy after ( 7:40 - 8:15 ) make some sens... well you can see that there have been cuts in his speech...
@KiLLeR1RaBBiT Yes. I would have liked to put more of his comment on but hit the 10 min limit. I was relieved, too, that it wasn't about religion at all.
I for one am glad it is gone. It was a large distraction while driving to Sedona and simply didn't fit in with the scenery of the southwest. If Mago is supposedly representing "Mother Earth" then they could have made the stature more nature-like in appearance. Instead, I at first mistook it for being a giant statue of Jesus, especially since it was next to the church. I couldn't even tell it was a woman until I was right next to it.
Every single day this was in the paper, i mean as if there werent other far more important issues facing us today, just think of all the rubbish going on at D.C., if only we could have stood up like this for a better cause. In any case i'm glad that statue's down, it was pretty fishy the whole thing, and the statue was ugly and ruined the beautiful landscape, but still, such fuss over it!
4:47 and 5:28 have it nailed down. how come they can just move in and have a huge sign and statue both on a pedastal but long time buisness owners of Cottonwood can only have small signs at ground level. especially the other church that can only have a 3X5 sign in front of it??? also at 7:00 he says freedom of religion and expression. we dont care about the religion. we care about the broken laws. as far as I know there is no "freedom of put a 40 foot piece of plastic crap in my backyard"
I think that Joseph Alexander's comments at 4:08 are ridiculous. These entities are not separate, they are used as front companies for Ilchi Lee. According to LinkedIn, Joseph Alexander is Vice President-Communications at Dahn Yoga & Health Centers, Inc., Legal Advisor at Honor's Haven Resort & Spa, and Legal Advisor at BR Consulting, Inc.. His office is located in Ellenville, NY, what is he doing in Arizona? Oh yeah, "volunteering" for Mago Earth Park.
Mago is a religious symbol raised by a religious organization that worships Ilchi as reincarnated deity dahn-gun. Ilchi have been featured in almost all American media as a cult including CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, Forbes, Glamour, NY Post, etc. Ilchi is getting desperate with all the media attention on him. The only place to hide is under religious cover just as he did in Korea. He broke the zoning laws, and he will play crazy Christian card just as he is did in Korea. This is a hideous cult.
Same with Mago she doesnt represent mother earth or peace and harmony. She represent a deity bigger than any other religion on earth.
Why Ms. Mago, instead of dahn-gun whom Ilchi thinks he is the reincarnation of? Because Korean dahn-gun will not fly in American culture thus Ms. Mago complete with blonde hair which Ilchi is known to be so fond of. The key point here is the size of the statues, and the statues around it.
Now, just as Ilchi claims to be mordenized traditional Korean spiritual path dahn, Ilchi modernized Mago into mother earth. In Korea, Ilchi modernized the originator of Koreans dahn-gun into a religion called Sun-Bul-Gyo. Sun-Bul-Gyo have similar scam going with all smaller saints standing around it. Dahn-gun is bigger because it represents bigger spirituality than Christianity or Buddhism or all other religion.
There is no historical context that Mago represents neither mother earth nor peace. Mago is one small Korean myth from just ONE book in history. According to the book named BuDoJi, Mogo was the originator of Mago Castle located at the highest place on earth. He/She was both male and female, so he/she gave birth to 4 heavenly people (Hwang Gung, Baek So, Chung Gung, Huk So) without a husband, because he/she was both male and female in one body.
