- Sahng-jeh-nim Establishes the Framework of His Dao Succession
- 1 The principle of heaven and earth consists of the three ultimates: Mu-geuk, Tae-geuk, and Hwahng-geuk.
- 2 Mu-geuk, the fundamental source of dao, is represented by ten-earth. Tae-geuk, the fundamental substance of dao, is represented by one-water.
- 3 Hwahng-geuk, the substance of the dynamic of giving birth to and nurturing all things, is five-earth in substance and seven-fire in function.
- 4 At Mu-geuk, the universe meets its destiny of the Autumn Gae-byuk―its maturation―through the self-activation of Tae-geuk water and the birth-growth dynamic of Hwahng-geuk.
- 5 Sahng-jeh-nim said, “I am heaven, earth, sun, and moon.” He thus established the framework of His dao succession based on the four foundations: Gun (), Gohn (), Gahm (), and Li ().
- 6 Gun and Gohn, the substance of dao, represent Mu-geuk. Gahm and Li, as the function of dao, have Tae-geuk as their substance and have Hwahng-geuk as their function. Hence, this is the unification of the three ultimates.
- 7 In accordance with this unification, dao lineage and authority manifests in human affairs.
- The Dao Lineage and Authority of True Dharma
- 8 Jeung-san Sahng-jeh-nim corrects the Gun and Gohn of the Early Heaven, in which yin is oppressed and yang is revered. He opens the way to the world of the Later Heaven, where yin and yang are equal.
- 9 Sahng-jeh-nim transferred His dao lineage and authority to Su-bu-nim, thereby firmly establishing the root of the Great Dao of Mu-geuk.
- 10 He planned that the Great Dao of Mu-geuk would reach fruition through the Sun and Moon, Dragon and Phoenix Program. This program is based on Tae-geuk and Hwahng-geuk, which propel water and fire’s power of creative change.
- 11 Sahng-jeh-nim did all of this to inaugurate the dao affairs of true dharma in order to establish the new heaven and earth.
- 12 The succession of dao authority from Sahng-jeh-nim to Su-bu-nim occurred through the Program of the Su-bu. Su-bu-nim resolves women’s pent-up bitterness and grief, which have accumulated in the Early Heaven.
- 13 She is the Head of All Women, the Mother of Humans and Spirits, whose appointment opens the new heaven and earth of equal yin and yang.
