The Unification Church's "Female Spiritualist" Who Bilked Mother Yamagami Out of Her Money

Gathering huge donations in the Kansai area

The woman psychic has made me buy expensive vases, pendants, and other items, and I have also donated huge amounts of money. The total amount is about 35 million yen.

Of the 20 million yen donated to the former Unification Church by Yamagami's mother, the woman was involved in about 20 million yen. I believe that she is the most malicious person among those involved in psychic sales at the former Unification Church in the Kansai region, Ms. A said.

 

In the living room of Ms. A's house, there are still pots, pendants, rings, and other items purchased by the former Unification Church that are covered in dust.

Tetsuya Yamagami, the suspect in the shooting death of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, is currently under psychiatric evaluation. Yamagami reportedly claims that his motive is that his mother was forced to donate more than 100 million yen to the former Unification Church, which led to the breakup of their family.

"Gendai Business" has learned that the "spiritualist" to whom Yamagami's mother was forced to make donations is a woman in the former Unification Church.

 

This Minako Higashiyama (pseudonym) belongs to the former Unification Church in Ms. Higashi Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, and is positioned as a "teacher" in the organizational chart of court documents related to psychic business. In reality, however, he is a central figure in collecting huge donations by acting as a "spiritualist" throughout the Kansai region.

 

After putting his followers in awe to the point of terror, Ms. Higashiyama was the relief ace who came on board at the end of the trial. She was the Unification Church's trump card to get them to sign an expensive contract by taking the word that they would donate money to the church, Ms. A said.

 

Yuji Kano, an attorney with the National Association of Lawyers Against Spiritual Sales Lawyers (Osaka Bar Association), has experience questioning Mr. Higashiyama in court. Attorney Kano also testified as follows.

 

I have dealt with more than 10 victims related to Mr. Higashiyama. At first glance, Higashiyama is just an old lady, but she is a monster of the old Unification Church.

 For more than 30 years, she has been using her money as a 'psychic' to force her followers to buy old Unification Church vases and pagodas and donate their assets to her. The total amount? It's not in the hundreds of millions; it's probably more like 3 billion yen, and it could be as high as 10 billion yen."


Fainting in agony on the floor

Mr. A, a former member of the church, joined the former Unification Church about 25 years ago after being approached in a downtown area.

At first he stopped me, saying it was a questionnaire. We talked about palm reading, and he took me away, saying, 'There's a good doctor nearby who can look at it for you. After that, I was shown various videos at a Unification Church center called the Video Center, and eventually I joined the church.

The believer who recruited her said, "There is a wonderful teacher here, so let's have him take a look. It was Ms. Higashiyama who confronted Ms. A at the former Unification Church in Higashiosaka City.

 

She said, "Your child is suffering in the spirit world. I can see it clearly.
The reason for his suffering is because of the emotional ties of his ancestors.
Only you can save the child.

 

Mr. Tohyama spoke one after another to Mr. A. When he came to, he collapsed to the floor.

Ugh, I'm in pain.

She then fell to the floor and began fainting in agony.

 

She then added, "Your child in the spirit world is on a cliff.

The child in the spirit world is on the edge. I am holding him back now. In the end, you have no choice but to save him. Your life will be in danger this time. We need to liberate him from the spirit world.
Ms. A's family will become extinct."

 

Ms.. Higashiyama continued speaking as he lay on the floor.

I can see the ancestors waiting for donations.
If there is cash, it must be purified."

Ms. A, who had been plunged into the depths of fear, recalled, "If I don't donate now, my children will die.


Get the donation manual

At first, Mr. Higashiyama said the donation would be 21 million yen, but this was not an amount that Mr. A could immediately provide. The amount was then "reduced" to 5.3 million yen. The next day, another member of the former Unification Church made Mr. A call the bank, as he was told to do. He was then asked to withdraw the cash and hand it over to Mr. Higashiyama.

Upon receiving the money, Mr. Higashiyama sprinkled salt on the cash in a dark room lit by candles and said, "I want to purify it. He appeared to be a "spiritualist," he said.

 

Looking back, the initial 21 million yen was based on what I wrote in a questionnaire before joining the church, in which I was asked about my assets and other information. I had assets of nearly 30 million yen in deposits, stocks, and other assets, so Ms. Higashiyama must have decided on the amount of 21 million yen from that.

Even after donating 5.3 million yen, I was told that if I bought pendants and vases costing 1 million yen, my deceased son would be able to go to heaven safely and peacefully, and I ended up paying 21 million yen. After that, there was still 2 million yen in cash left at home, but when I left it with Ms. Higashiyama to purify it, it was put on the shelf for more than six months before finally being taken as a donation. Ms. Higashiyama always had a signature line that he used to say, and that was, 'Liberation from the spirit world.

 

Gendai Business also obtained questionnaires and manuals used by the former Unification Church. The questionnaire was supposed to be just a questionnaire, but in the section entitled "Financial Strength," the following questions were included

1. can buy a pagoda (540 or more, 1,000 or more)
2. can move more than 300
9. have a retirement fund

The numbers are of course in units of "ten thousands". The number is naturally in units of "ten thousand.

 

In addition, the manual "Changing the Spiritual World", says, "Grab the financial strength of most of the believers through talk".

 

In the latter part of the article, we will learn how Ms. A became Ms. Higashiyama's "collaborator" and how the mother of the suspect, Ms. Yamagami, was treated favorably by the former Unification Church as a "person of the time. The surprising results of a direct interview with Higashiyama conducted by Gendai Business will also be presented.
