Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills

- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Unification movement, also known as the Unification Church (UC), is a worldwide new religious movement whose members are sometimes colloquially called "Moonies". It was officially founded in 1954 under the name Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity (HSA-UWC) in Seoul, South Korea by Sun Myung Moon, a Korean religious leader also known for his business ventures and engagement in social and political causes. In 1994 the HSA-UWC was replaced by Moon with a new organization, the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU).  The movement is spiritually-based and includes a number of legally independent organizations, including business, educational, political, and other types of organizations.The beliefs of the Unification movement are based on Moon's book Divine Principle, which differs from the teachings of Nicene Christianity on its view of Jesus and its introduction of the concept of "indemnity". The best-known ceremonies of the movement are its unique funerals and mass weddings.The Unification movement has received strong criticism and has attracted numerous controversies, including that of being a dangerous cult.  Its beliefs have been criticized by both Jewish and Christian scholars.  Its involvement in politics, including anti-communism and support for Korean reunification, has also been criticized.   Moon and his wife, Hak Ja Han, were banned from entry into Germany and the other 14 Schengen treaty countries, on the grounds that they were leaders of a sect that endangered the personal and social development of young people.
