The Purpose of Heaven and Earth, Sun and Moon

The Purpose of Heaven and Earth, Sun and Moon

 

Every being in the universe lives and dies based on the cosmic principle of birth, growth, harvest, and rest.

 

The coming gaebyeok marks the universe’s attainment of fruition through human history. “How can that be?” you might ask. As Sangjenim revealed to us, heaven, earth, sun, and moon all exist to fulfill one common purpose: to cultivate humanity. They have no other purpose. I say to you emphatically that heaven and earth, and sun and moon exist to cultivate and harvest the fruit of humanity at the cosmic autumn.

 

The process of change during the 129,600 years of the cosmic year is the same as the process of change on earth during a single year. Consider the cycle of birth, growth, harvest, and rest during a year. In spring, the farmer sows seeds which sprout and begin to grow. The crop grows throughout the summer, and then the seeds are harvested in the autumn.

 

In the same way, the seeds of humanity were sown during an ancient, primordial period. We have weathered wind, hail, and all sorts of calamities over the thousands of years since, and now we have come to the cosmic autumn and our time of fruition. Just as a farmer worries whether his harvest will be a good or a bad one, the universe anxiously awaits the harvesting of the seeds of humanity at the Autumn Gaebyeok. When many people are saved, the universe will say, “What a bountiful crop! A good harvest.”
