The Cycle of Birth in the Spring and Death in the Autumn

The Cycle of Birth in the Spring and Death in the Autumn

We live in a time when heaven and earth are about to go through gaebyeok and harvest only selected human seeds.

 

Heaven and earth give birth in the spring and bring death in the autumn. Heaven and earth exist to give birth in the spring and bring death in the autumn.

 

We call a single revolution of the earth around the sun a year. The earth on which we live presently revolves around the sun in an egg-shaped or elliptical orbit. The earth revolves around the sun in an elliptical orbit, making four seasons per orbit. This is the cycle of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. In spring, life is born; in summer, it grows; in autumn, it collects essence and bears fruit; in winter, it rests. Next spring, new buds bloom. This principle is immutable.

 

A similar cycle of change occurs within the universe—the cosmic year. The cycle in which the cosmos completes a full circle is called the cosmic year. In concord with the same principle as the earth’s revolution around the sun, the cosmic year observes an order marked by four seasons per year. During a cosmic year, the universe cultivates humanity. Just as trees and plants are cultivated during an earth year, humans are nurtured and harvested during a cosmic year.
