- The Mindset of Those Carrying Out the Work Under Heaven
- 1 Sahng-jeh-nim then opened the great gate of the spirit world. He selected thirty-three disciples, one for each of the thirty-three heavens, and said to them,
- 2 “If any of you think you will flee in fear when policemen or soldiers come, you should return home immediately.
- 3 If there are ten people and one runs away, nine meet injury and death.
- 4 If any of you think you might run away, leave now. Those who remain must strengthen their determination.
- 5 People carrying out the work under heaven gain comfort when faced with danger and gain life when faced with death.
- 6 Those doing the work should be able to walk through fire.”
- 7 Twenty-one of them stayed, earnestly promising not to change their minds.
- 8 Knowing of Sahng-jeh-nim’s power of creative change, some thought, “When our Teacher is with us, what is there to fear?” Others thought, “What possible difficulties could we encounter? He must be testing us.”
- 9 Sahng-jeh-nim asked the disciples, “When is Waking Hibernators Day?”
- 10 “February 4,” they answered.
“On that day, you will know what this work is about.”
