means "heaven opens and earth opens." It is recommended to understand
Cosmic year before understand further about Gaebyeok.
Cycle of gaebyeok
Throughout a Cosmic year there are major gaebyeoks and minor gaebyeoks.
Every cosmic month (10,800 years) there is a minor gae-byuk accompanied
by a minor but sudden shift of the earth's axis. Every cosmic season
(20,000-50,000 years) there is a major gaebyeok with a more dramatic
shift in the earth's axis. Gaebyeok can also mean a dramatic change
within a person, such as a transformation in one's physical condition
or a sudden spiritual awakening. Or gaebyeok can refer to a
transformation in society.
Critical moment
According to Jeung San Do's teachings, humanity is now living near the
end of the cosmic summer. The cosmic summer and spring have been a time
of growth, diversity, and conflict, but autumn will be a time of
maturity, returning to oneness, and harmony.
For this to happen, the Autumn Gaebyeok must take place on three
levels:
Transformation of nature
Transformation of society
Transformation of each human being
Pole shift
The gaebyeok of nature will happen as automatically as the changing of
seasons within a year, but the transformation of individuals and
society is in the hands of humankind. Soon, the earth's axis will shift
perfectly upright demonstrating the perfect balance between yin and
yang in autumn, and the earth's orbit around the sun will change to 360
degrees. These conditions will create a milder climate for the entire
world. The time of equal yin and yang is a time of maturity and
harmony. The Autumn Gaebyeok provides an opportunity for humanity to
change with nature and reach a harmonious and spiritually awakened
existence. Obviously, a shifting of the earth's axis will be a
worldwide natural disaster, unprecedented in our written history.
Global epidemic
But, according to Jeung San Do's teachings, the world will be faced
with an even greater challenge: global epidemic disease. With the
supposed eradication of smallpox in the 1960s, we naively thought that
humanity had conquered infectious disease, but in the last thirty
years, one or two new infectious diseases have appeared each year, and
old diseases have mutated, making them more and more difficult to
treat. The potential for a catastrophic global disease already exists.
Why global epidemic disease?
The origin of the global disease is the accumulated suffering of
humans. Because of the dominance of yang over yin in the cosmic spring
and summer, conflict has been the mode of development. Humans have
struggled to overcome nature and each other. Men have oppressed women,
some races have oppressed others, and heaven has dominated earth. So
many people have suffered and harbored inside them deep bitterness and
grief. The energy of this bitterness and grief has accumulated and
compounded over time and has turned into lethal energy. At the time of
the Autumn Gaebyeok, this energy will be released as a global epidemic.
Overcoming this outbreak of disease will be the greatest challenge
humanity has ever faced and will be a catalyst for global unity. Jeung
San Do calls this Euitong(醫統), which means "to heal and unite."
The Future
Jeung San Do's teachings are a combination of harsh realities and
gentle love and concern. We are living at the end of the cosmic summer,
a time marked by war, disease, and inequality, and we will soon be
faced with tragedies on a global scale. But, the conflict and suffering
of the cosmic summer is not without meaning and purpose. Spring exists
for summer; summer exists for autumn. Overcoming conflict and suffering
within one's life is a process of maturing for the individual.
Overcoming the conflict and suffering of the cosmic spring and summer
is a process of maturing for humankind.
The cosmic autumn is a time of peace, harmony, and enlightenment, the
ultimate freedom from ignorance. We can already see the seeds of the
autumn civilization such as concern for the environment, the movement
for equality between men and women, advances leading to greater
longevity and quality of life, and the movement for basic human rights
for alJeung San Do
Jeung San Do (JSD; 甑山道) is a spritual movement from Korea
dedicated to the well-being of all people. This new religious movement
has a universal message and a method of healing meditation based on the
teachings of Jeung San Sangjenim, a nineteenth century religious leader
described by Jeung San Do's practitioners as the governing spirit of
the universe, personified and embodied. The central text of Jeung San
Do, the Dojeon, was first published in Korean in 1992 which contains
detail work of Cheonjigongsa, the Work of Renewal.
According to Jeung San Do's teachings, we live in a pivotal age.
Throughout history, humankind has existed in conflict. For the most
part, people achived their goals at the expense of others. Strife has
been a natural mode of growth, but this is all about to change.
Meaning of Jeung San Do
Jeung San Do means "the dao of Jeung San." The word jeung (甑)
connotes "to bring to maturity" or "to bring to fruition," and san
(山) means "mountain." The entire phrase 'jeung san' signifies
completion, maturation, and harmony. ('Jeung san' is also a traditional
Korean descriptive term for the highest mountain in a region.) Do(道)
denotes "dao," i.e., "way." Considered as a whole, therefore, the name
'Jeung San Do' signifies the highest truth that surpasses all existing
religions and teachings
l people. In autumn, the efforts of humanity come to fruition.
Dojeon
道典
A sacred text of Jeung San Do. Dojeon has eight different langue
versions including Korean, English, Japanese, German, Spanish, French,
Russian, and Chinese. The original Dojeon was published in Korean on
October 25, 1992.
A quote from Dojeon
Those aware of the flow of the world have the qi of life.
Those ignorant of the flow of the world have the qi of death.
Dojeon 5:259:20
Background of Dojeon
Over one hundred years ago, Sangjenim (God the Father) was the first in
all of Eastern and Western history to proclaim and fully describe the
Later Heaven Gaebyeok.
The precept of Gaebyeok applies to heaven and earth and to the realms
of humanity and spirits, and it answers the mysteries of nature,
explains the secrets of civilization, and resolves the limitations of
Eastern and Western religions and philosophies.
After Sangjenim’s ascension to heaven, the truth of gaebyeok was
widely disseminated by the successor of His dao lineage and authority,
Taemonim (God the Mother). We can feel the breath of Their spirits in
the pages of the Dojeon.
The original Dojeon was published in Korean on October 25, 1992 for the
122nd commemoration of Sangjenim’s birth, and it entailed twenty
years of extensive research and fieldwork by Jeung San Do practitioners
as they compiled the written and oral testimonies of Sangjenim’s and
Taemonim’s disciples, the disciples’ descendants, and the
disciples’ students.
The publication of the 2003 revised edition took an additional eleven
years of effort involving further research and extensive review of old
and new testimonials to verify and discover dates, sites, events, and
people related to Sangjenim’s and Taemonim’s works of renewing
heaven and earth.
The foreign-language translations of the Dojeon are based mostly on the
1992 Korean edition. Thus, the Dojeon represents thirty years of
dedication by many people; it is the culmination of Jeung San Do’s
culture.
Content of Dojeon
Arranged in eleven chapters, the Dojeon spans Sangjenim’s and
Taemonim’s lives, their work, their disciples, the principle upon
which the universe evolves, the ultimate destiny of humanity, the
existence of spirits, meditation, the times we live in, the coming
civilization, and much more.
Through the Dojeon, the reader can begin the process of understanding
Jeung San Do’s Eight Teachings:
Sangjenim (The supreme God)
Cosmology (the way of universe, Cosmic year)
Humanity
Spirits and Meditation (Tae Eul Ju meditation)
The work of renewing heaven and earth (Human history) 天地公事
Autumn Gaebyeok and Salvation
The Subu (Tao Lineage and Authority)
The Ilggun (Workers) of work under heaven
The Dojeon records the true path that will allow the people of the
world to survive the Later Heaven Gaebyeok and enter the new
civilization of immortality. This makes the Dojeon history’s greatest
gift-a sacred text of life, not filled with words of despair and tears,
but with a radiant and vivid vision of joy and hope for a future that
transcends the limitations of modern civilization. But to appreciate
the Dojeon’s sacred truth, one must first understand Sangjenim and
Taemonim.
