Later Heaven Gaebyeok
The epochal transition from the era of the Early Heaven to the Later Heaven. Since this transition also marks the shift from cosmic summer to cosmic autumn, it is synonymous with the Autumn Gaebyeok. The Later Heaven Gaebyeok will be marked by major global upheavals such as a pole shift and the advent of a … Continue reading “Later Heaven Gaebyeok”
Gaebyeok
A term derived from the Korean expression cheon-gae-ji-byeok, “heaven opens, earth opens.” The term gaebyeok is principally used when referring to the beginning of a new heaven and earth, but gaebyeok also refers to transformations or renewals that can happen on many other levels (e.g., nature; civilization; an individual’s body, mind, and spirit). In cosmology, … Continue reading “Gaebyeok”
Later Heaven
The cosmic autumn and winter, the second half of the 129,600-year cosmic year cycle, an era characterized by equal yin and yang, unity, harmony, and maturity. (Humanity can actually exist during only fifty thousand years of this era, a period sometimes referred to as “the Later Heaven’s fifty thousand years.”) THE COSMIC YEAR (129,600 Calendar … Continue reading “Later Heaven”
Early Heaven
The cosmic spring and summer, the first half of the 129,600-year cosmic year cycle, an era characterized by birth and growth, yang dominance, diversity, and conflict.

Cosmic Year
A grand cosmological cycle spanning 129,600 earth years. The precept of the cosmic year was first fully explained to humanity by His Holiness the Taesang Jongdosanim, who, in 1946, first diagramed the cosmic year cycle, contextualizing the birth, growth, and maturation of human civilization. Just as life is born, nurtured, and harvested within the cycle … Continue reading “Cosmic Year”
What Is the Genuine Achievement Celebrated by Both Humanity and Heaven and Earth?
Confronted with such enormous disasters, what can humans accomplish even if they do become masters of their own destiny and brave a path through these calamities? If you focus solely upon humanity’s present predicament—upon the approaching problems—you may become pessimistic. However, the proclamation of the Era of Humanity’s Nobility, the declaration that humans should become … Continue reading “What Is the Genuine Achievement Celebrated by Both Humanity and Heaven and Earth?”
The Era of Humanity’s Nobility Has Arrived, and People Should Overcome Gaebyeok on Their Own
If it is nature’s providence that the cosmic seasons change, bringing the Autumn Gaebyeok, then is it not true that there is little human beings can do? Is it not the case that people should simply remain passive, entrusting themselves to the providence of the universe? That is not true. The core of Jeung San … Continue reading “The Era of Humanity’s Nobility Has Arrived, and People Should Overcome Gaebyeok on Their Own”
The Timing of Gaebyeok Is Signaled by the Abnormal Phenomena Afflicting the World
As a person who knows little about Jeung San Do, I would like to ask you directly: exactly when will gaebyeok take place? When will gaebyeok occur? I am certain that the answer to this question is one which people would most dearly like to know. In fact, when I give lectures on gaebyeok to … Continue reading “The Timing of Gaebyeok Is Signaled by the Abnormal Phenomena Afflicting the World”
The Autumn Gaebyeok Is the Creative Process of Building a New World
How does gaebyeok differ from eschatology? People tend to fixate too much upon the fact that all will die at the time of gaebyeok. Strictly speaking, this is just a minor element of gaebyeok. It is not desirable to focus your attention upon the fact that gaebyeok shall ‘destroy’ the existing world, its order and … Continue reading “The Autumn Gaebyeok Is the Creative Process of Building a New World”
