The Paradise of Immortality

Those who pass through Gaebyeok and enter the era of the Later Heaven will help build—and live in—a world of harmony, awakening, and long life. This future civilization is described by many names: the Paradise of Creative Transformation, the Dragon Flower Paradise, the world of cosmic autumn, paradise on earth, and the Paradise of Immortality.

Humanity, emerging from the upheaval of Gaebyeok, leaves behind an age shaped by conflict and works together to form a culture rooted in peace. Not only will this world be free from war, but even everyday relationships will also follow the principle of sangsaeng (“mutual life-giving” or “mutual beneficence”).

Living in harmony with one another, people of the Later Heaven will establish an ideal society marking the height of human civilization, both technologically and spiritually. Yet it is in the realm of the Dao that humanity will undergo its greatest transformation: enlightenment will swiftly come to all people.

This awakening unfolds through a new unity between humans and spirits. Humanity attains one mind, aligning with its divine nature and entering open communion with the spirit world. Through this union, people gain the ability to participate consciously in creation itself. Learning becomes effortless—past, present, and future are understood, the depths of the earth and heights of heaven become knowable, and even the thoughts of others can be perceived. This becomes a culture of mansaji (“all-knowing” or “omniscience”).

Such transformation reshapes both the soul and the body. Physical suffering disappears, human life extends for centuries, and the body itself becomes refined and exalted. Humans will stand as the most noble beings in the universe, and this time will be known as “the Era of Humanity’s Majestiy” (Dojeon 2:18:1).
