The Cosmic Autumn Approaches

Time flows in cycles that evolve into greater cycles. For instance, cycles of days evolve into the cycle of a month, and cycles of months evolve into the cycle of a year. Earth year cycles eventually evolve into one cosmic year of 129,600 earth years.

During the cosmic year, humanity arises and proliferates in the cosmic spring and cosmic summer, which together form the Early Heaven. Humanity becomes enlightened beings in the cosmic autumn, which is the Later Heaven. The cosmic winter is the great ice age.

What does this mean? Why is this relevant to us?

We live in the age of great transition. The cosmic summer will soon end, and the cosmic autumn will soon begin.

The cosmic summer has been an era of growth, division, and conflict, which caused untold bitterness and grief among all of humanity. As we near the end of the cosmic summer, the human and spirit realms boil with conflict due to unresolved bitterness and grief. Moreover, our natural environment is deteriorating with increasing speed. Extreme weather patterns are battering our planet. These are just some of the telltale signs that something big is coming our way.

That something is gaebyeok?the rebirth of heaven, earth, and humanity.

Gaebyeok is the transition from the cosmic summer to the cosmic autumn. Because gaebyeok is the precursor to the cosmic autumn, it is also called the 'Autumn Gaebyeok.' Like childbirth, the Autumn Gaebyeok will entail both enormous pain and joy. The Autumn Gaebyeok will give birth to a new heaven, earth, and humanity, marking the beginning of the cosmic autumn.

When the cosmic autumn arrives, humanity will attain enlightenment and become beings of light. As enlightened immortals, humanity will build a civilization of light and of wondrous material and spiritual advancements.
