What is the purpose of heaven and earth

What is the purpose of heaven and earth

During this hour, I would like to teach you again about the universe, the Government of Creation-Transformation, and the principle of change within the universe.

 

All life forms arise and exist within the order of nature in accordance with the principle of the universe. And the principle of the universe is the framework of all things. By knowing this principle, you can solve all the problems of the world--so you must know it. Everything in the universe, no matter what its form, manifests in accordance with the principle of nature.

 

The purpose of heaven and earth is, in short, spring-birth and autumn-death; spring gives birth to all things and autumn brings death to all things. This is in accordance with the cycle of birth, growth, harvest, and rest. Spring gives birth to life, summer nurtures it, and autumn gathers its essence to bring to fruition both the tangible and intangible things. Applying this principle to culture, specifically, tangible culture is mechanized or material culture, and intangible culture is moral or spiritual culture. Both of these will be united to form the integrated culture of maturation--this is the purpose of heaven and earth.

 

“Now is the age of heaven and earth’s achievement of their purpose. The Autumn God embraces the mandate of governing all beings to gather all enlightened knowledge for the greatest of all fulfillments--such is gaebyeok” (Sangjenim, Dojeon 4:19:1-2). Gaebyeok means that heaven and earth cultivate humanity, and they harvest the seeds of humanity.
