Dao

The Way of Nature

Before the time started, there was nothing,

from which created everything by the will of perfection 

and, whose face never seen to anybody.

A single drop of desire from the perfection

disturbed the lake of equilibrium,

and, whose broken imbalance is the source of all creation.

So, might be careful of a single drop of our desire,
since we are the children of perfection.

The blue dragon opened its eyes from the stillness,

and started its movements toward the active fire 

with the dynamic rhythm of yin and yang.

By the rhythm of yin and yang,

Nothing and something coexists,

Balance and imbalance interacts,
Female and male co-creates,

Conflicts and harmony cooperates to fulfill the will of perfection.

Along the road of yin and yang from the origin,

the children of perfection make their journey toward maturation

in which the dream of humanity will be accomplished.

Through the hardship of fire, 

the desire toward separation will be stronger and stronger,

but also the dream of unity will be more and more clear.

So, black and white will show their faces clearly.
the power of darkness in sometimes seems to be more greater.

But when the autumn winds blow, 

the only ripen fruits shall be harvested by the spirit of Justice.

By returning to the origin, 

our journey will be ended and enjoy the delightful harmony for a long time.

Cosmic Autumn

Now is the age of heaven and earth's achievement of their purpose.

The Autumn God's embraces the destiny of governing all beings
to gather all enlightened knowledge for the greatest of all fulfillments - such is gaebyeok.

When the autumn wind blows, some come to fruition while others wither and fall.


Now is the age of seeking out and returning to the origin.

In this time when lineage shall be clarified, all who disavow their lineage and heritage or sever others from their roots shall perish.


Now is the age of the resolution of bitterness and grief.

I shall bring harmony to the spirits to resolve the bitterness that has accumulated over the ages. The dao of sangsaeng shall inaugurate the dojang of creative change and raise up an unprecedented Paradise of Immortality.

~Sangjenim~



We are living in the transition time from Cosmic Summer to Cosmic Autumn. 
This is the key word to understand all human affairs. 
When you understand the meaning of Cosmic Autumn deeply, everything will be clear to you. You shall know the conclusion of this human civilization and the identity of God as well.  Truth seems to be simple when you open your mind to see and accept the universal logic; Birth, Growth, Harvest, and Rest which is four steps of creative changes used by God.

Gaebyeok

Sanggeuk in the Early Heaven


The destiny of sanggeuk underlies the Early Heaven.
The principle of sanggeuk has governed all humans and all existence,

Heaven and earth never knowing a single moment free of war,
and now bitterness and grief fills all the world.

Even at this time, as I set out to bring the reign of sanggeuk to an end,
colossal catastrophes threaten the complete destruction of the human world.

If all the bitterness and grief born of sanggeuk were allowed to explode,
the universe would collapse into ruin.

The spirits of heaven and earth, filled with dismay and compassion,
yearned to deliver humanity but lacked the means,
so they ultimately journeyed to the ninth heaven and pleaded with Me to do so.
I, unable to refuse them, descended into this world.

I shall avert all the impending colossal catastrophes through the use of minor misfortunes and hence bring forth the Paradise of Creative Change.


~Dojeon 2:13~



The bitterness and grief is the main source of all disasters. 
By the end of Early Heaven, the cummulated bitterness and grief is so great to destory whole universe.
Then, who and how possibly could solve this cumulated bitterness and grief?


We need to think about that question deeply.

The Civilization of the Later Heaven
Union of Spirits and Humans
Culture of Man-sa-jee ("Ultimate Knowledge")
Culture of the Great Dao Mastery of knowing the Mind
Culture of Enlightenment
Paradise of Creative Change

Crisis in middle east will affect whole world and this is deeply connected with the resolution of bitterness and grief. 

Pole shift

When gaebeok arrives, 

mountains will be overturned and the ground will split open

the sight will be utterly horrifying. 

Some people will be buried underneath the rubble of overturned mountains, 

some will fall into the gaping fissures of the splitting ground

the world will descend into chaos. 

When you return to the place where a house stood just the day before, 

you will find a mountain instead.

~Dojeon 7:19~

In the future, 

time will streak past in years, 

then in months, days, hours, and finally minutes.

Keep careful watch on the tides of the world.

~Dojeon 7: 11~

What is the main reason for all nature disasters; earthquakes, volcano eruptions, flood, tsunami etc? Why do haven and earth (or God) give more and more serious problems to human beings? Is that simply because we humans did a lot of bad things so, God is punishing us now? Maybe but there might be other fundamental reason. 


Understanding the root reason clearly on that situation is the first step we should  take to make our proper action on it. 


The reason is that it's time for heaven and earth to change their system of movements. It is the process of purification as well, for Mother Earth is wobbling now to make her proper position.  


Scientifically say, that is pole shift

The situation will be more and more serious until making her perfect position. 
All this was predicted by great sages, gurus and prophets even before. 
However, the future of survivals will be very bright and so idealistic which we can not even imagine all now. 


So, I wish all of you could survive from this coming utmost darkness period.
There will be a lot of temptations driving you toward negative side, but you should recover and keep your bright and positive original nature. 

New Zealand earthquake: Blame the ring of fire


The deadly and devastating 6.3 magnitude earthquake that hit New Zealand today can be partly blamed on the so-called "Ring of Fire," the world's greatest earthquake belt, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Also known as the "circum-Pacific seismic belt," it is found along the rim of the Pacific Ocean, where about 81 percent of the world's largest earthquakes occur.

The belt extends from Chile, northward along the South American coast through Central America, Mexico, the West Coast of the USA, and the southern part of Alaska, through the Aleutian Islands to Japan, the Philippine Islands, New Guinea, the island groups of the Southwest Pacific, and finally to New Zealand.

So many of the world's earthquakes originate in this belt since it's a region of young, growing mountains and deep ocean trenches, which invariably parallel mountain chains. Earthquakes tend to accompany elevation changes in mountains (the higher part of the earth's crust), and changes in the ocean trenches (the lower part).

Realm of the Mind

Realm of the Mind

If heaven provides meager rain and dew, 

   woes inevitably arise in all lands.

If earth employs meager water and soil in nurturing all life, 

   woes inevitably arise in all life.

If people live their lives with meager virtue, 

   woes inevitably arise in all affairs.

The provision of rain and dew by heaven, 

The employment of water and soil by earth,

and the upholding of virtue by people 

-all depend on the mind.

~Dojeon 4:78~

In heaven, sun and moon shine.

On earth, plants and trees flourish.

The dao of heaven lies in the radiance of sun and moon,

and huminity lives in concord with their cycle.

The dao of earth lies in the begetting and nurturing of all life,

and humanity is sustained by plants and trees.

~Dojeon 7: 56~

We usually think Heaven and Earth is just inanimate mechanical system but they are the parents or creator of all humanity and other beings. We need to think about Heaven and Earth not only their material side but also spirit side deeply. What are their souls; the owner or controller of their system? How do they manage their very accurate movement system? And what is their principle of creative changes, development and management? Today, while dialogging with the small discussion group of people, I mentioned that the deep reason of our negative side of current world situation like all the human conflicts, nature disasters and various animal diseases is not because of our human faults. And with our human mental power or our group activities, we can not change the grand scale of this way of distractive trend. It's because of timing; the spirit of this era or time is the main reason. We will experience more and more negative and serious human conflicts and violence from nature. It is actually the short-term process of purification. It is time for Heaven and Earth to adjust its old negative system for the idealistic world which is the dream or goal of humanity. By understanding JSD Cosmology, People will know it is time for the universe to change its principle from the period of Yang; diversification, development, mutual conflicts into the era of Yin; unification, maturation, mutual life-giving. 


Heaven, Earth and Humanity are the main factors in Eastern Philosophy.

Hado and Nakseo and the Destiny of Autumn Gaebyeok

Wrought in the image of Hado and Nakseo,
mountains and rivers span tens of thousands of kilrometers
and thousands of years.

Siring the destiny of the Autumn Gaebyeok and cultivating the world,
the sun and moon have impelled the dao of change and
invigorated the holy spirits.

~Dojeon 2:50~


The principle of Gaebyeok lies in Nakseo

The four symbols embrace the one ultimate.
Within Nakseo lies the destiny of the whole world.

~Dojeon 2:51~



Hado is so called the "blue print of universe". 
It is the foundation of Eastern Civilization. This one digram is the source of all wisdom from Yin & Yang and 5 elements' principle. With this simple diagram, Jeungsando can explain almost every other related teachings, principles of mind, body, meditation, development of human civilization, universal movements and coming universal changes. Hado and Nakseo can be understood fully only through the concept of cosmic one year. Now, it's time to change the order of universe (principle of universe) to sustain its eternal system. That is the main reason why our civilization is facing this great changes in a negative and positive way. If we understand the main reason of our situation, we will know what is the preparation for our action. Through JSD Cosmology, we will know all the reasons of our condition and solutions which no other religion, science or philosophizer could possibly explained before.    



Hado: Yellow River Diagram discovered by Bok-Hui who was consequently inspired to draw the first I Ching trigrams. Based upon the principles of yin-yang and the five elements, the diagram, bestowed upon this sage by the spirits of heaven and earth through spiritual inspiration, encapsulates the cycle of life for all existence. The diagram depicts the numbers one to ten with the even (yin) numbers represented by black dots and the odd (yang) numbers represented by white dots. Hado represents the unity, harmony, and sangsaeng(mutual life-giving) of the Later Heaven.

Nakseo: Luo River Diagram or Luoshu in Chinese. It depicts the numbers one to nine with the even (yin) numbers represented by black dots and the odd (yang) numbers represented by white dots. Nakseo represents the diversity, growth, and sanggeuk(mutual conflicts) of the Early Heaven.

Gaebyeok: Great opening of Heaven and Earth; Opening of new Heaven and Earth

Law of creation

Most of significant human affairs have been followed by spiritual designs according to the law of creation.

1st creation: Mental (Spiritual) Creation
2nd creation: Physical (Material) Actualization

When we think about our destiny and our free will to create our future, somehow the two concepts look like contradicting each other, but actually our free will is feasible because of law of causality which shows our fate or destiny and which actually made by US not GOD accidentally or intentionally before (causality: general law of relationship between reason and result). But due to this stable law of causality, we can plan our future and  have a firm belief that we can accomplish our dream in the future. If we just live without our will of direction, we will live simply by our floating destiny, but if we have our clear visions to achieve, we could possibly live by purpose driven life. So, they say for our goal achievement, we need 100% of belief and imagination for the results which is 1st creation in our inner world, then action will be clear to achieve our 100% actual results. Thus, the law of attraction is simply functioning based on the law of causality (the more clear vision causes the more clear result). So, when people got to know this principle, first their reaction will be full of excitement to choose what dream they will imagine or focus. However, when we understand law of causality more deeply, we will next realize the heaviness of our karma as well (like what we did in a long-term process forming our present conditions and even influencing our future). But what the difference of our action or attitude from understanding this deeply is the acceptance; the acceptance of our situation because we understand the reason of our current condition deeply. So, most important thing to resolve our bitterness and grief and maintain our peaceful mental mood is understanding the structures of our life system: personal condition, relationship with others and organization we belong to and nature environment. Understanding the structures of whole system; personal, organizational and nature system and their purpose and process of development is utmost important for the survival in this time. And by this, we could recognize the limitation of our personal wishes and our possible potential as well. Basically there are two steps of creation process; one is mental or spiritual creation in inner world and the other is material or physical manifestation in outer world. Therefore, there is clear possibility and logic of how prophets can foresee the future in a long term prospective even though those are not 100% fixed ones. The possibility of our present condition already appeared in an imaginary symptom before according to the principle of universe. Actually I think past, present and future is one concept we should consider because those are always bond together and we can even change our past with certain limitation though changing our current mind set. So, Someone who can sense or create the possibility of our future from seeing current symptom or changing current condition will has a great opportunity to succeed in any field and any time. They have the great potential as a leader. And this quality will be attained by understanding the principle of nature which is cosmology; mind of universe or God.

Law of Causality (Reason precedes results) Vs. 
Law of Attraction (Purpose driven life)

LC: Accepting our present situation and future resulted from what we did in the past
LA: Making our future through what we are attracting in the present due to our will

Different levels of personal, social and nature systems- Mainly belief system or principle matters

Ex) Our personal condition
        Social environment (culture)
  Organizational environment
  National environment
  Nature environment

So, in order to understand our present situation and prepare for the future or simply for your personal life plan, we need to know the following 5Ps. in a personal, organizational, national level or even level of our current civilization or nature.

1. Prophecy (Fore-casted situations before)
 Negative: human conflicts or war, disease and nature disasters
 Positive: happy life, paradise, coming new world, Kingdom of God
 Personal, Family, National, Civilization level,,,

2. Phenomenon (What's happening now according to the forecasting?)
 Negative: violences from internal, social and nature environment
 Positive: process of purification, maturation and unification; great opening
 Personal, Family, National, Civilization level,,,

3. Principle (What is main logic of this creation process?)
 Interaction of Yin & Yang
 Understanding structures of system and process of creative movements
 Time & Space: Stage of all creatures
 Personal, Family, National, Civilization level,,,

4. Program (How was it programmed or destined by whose will?)
 Creating positive future from resolving negative past
 For negative: use small misfortune
 For positive: unification and integration
 Personal, Family, National, Civilization level,,,

5. Preparation (How can we handle this happening and what is vision after?)
 Returning to the origin
 Against negative: Resolution of bitterness of grief, forgiveness
 Toward positive: Repaying gratitudes and mutual life-giving
 Personal, Family, National, Civilization level,,,
