- Removal of Japan’s Strong Terrestrial Energy
- 1 One day, Sahng-jeh-nim wrote many things, gave the papers to a few of the disciples, and said, “Go to the blacksmith’s shop in Shin-bahng-jook Village, Tae-in County, and burn these in the fire.”
- 2 The disciples did as they were told, and a few days later, Sahng-jeh-nim said to Gim Gahp-chil, “Go to Gim Byung-ook’s house in Jeonju County to hear the latest news.”
- 3 There, Byung-ook said to Gahp-chil, “I have heard of a huge fire in Shin-ho, Japan, that has caused massive destruction.”
- 4 Gahp-chil came back and reported to Sahng-jeh-nim what he had heard.
- 5 Sahng-jeh-nim said, “In Japan, there is a high concentration of powerful terrestrial energy. Therefore, Japan has been violent, greedy, and aggressive.
- 6 Korea has been attacked by Japan since ancient times. There have been few days of relief from their aggression.
- 7 This terrestrial energy must be withdrawn for Koreans to live in peace and for the Japanese to live in safety.
- 8 I had the paper burned in Shin-bahng-jook to remove that energy.
- 9 The fact that there was a great blazing fire in Shin-ho, which is pronounced the same as the other name for Shin-bahng-jook, is a sign that the terrestrial energy will be removed.”
