  2. Chapter 1The Principle of Creation

  3. The Dual Characteristics of God and the Creation Section 1

  4. artist’s character God’s divine nature invisible works of art creation visible know the artist’s character through his works know God’s divine nature through His creation A. The Dual Characteristics of God How can we know the divine nature of the invisible God?

  5. Rom 1:20 Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made…

  6. Sung Sang (internal nature) Hyung Sang (external form) All creation 1. The Dual Characteristics of Sung Sang and Hyung Sang manifestation of SS = second SS Corresponding inner and outer aspects of the same entity

  7. Sung Sang Hyung Sang human being heart and mind body Animals animal “mind” body Plants plant “mind” cells Molecules Atoms Particles inherent nature inherent nature inherent nature atoms particles energy Original Sung Sang Original Hyung Sang God God is the harmonized subject of the dual characteristics of Original SS and Original HS.

  8. SS internal causal subject vertical HS external resultant object horizontal

  9. Yang Eum human being man woman animals male female plants stamen pistil molecules atoms particles cation proton positive anion electron negative Original Yang (masculinity) Original Eum (femininity) God 2. The Dual Characteristics of Yang (positivity) and Eum (negativity)

  10. God is the harmonized subject of the dual characteristics of Original Yang and Original Eum. Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

  11. Yang internal (central) subject Eum external object Gen 2:18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” Gen 2:22 And the rib which the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.

  12. Reference: Yang and Eum • Dual aspects of Yang and Eum Examples from the aspects of existence 1) Form (convex, concave) 2) Color (bright, dull) 3) Smell (pungent, delicate) 4) Sound (loud, soft) 5) Quality (coarse, refined) 6) Quantity (dense, sparse) 7) Texture (rough, smooth)

  13. 8) Time (fast, slow) 9) Space (vast, cozy) 10) Function (general, specific) 11) Movement (strong, gentle) 12) Anatomy (hard, soft) 13) Structure (top, bottom) 14) Position (above, below) 15) Temperature (hot, cold)

  14. Examples from the aspect of multiplication 1) Man and woman 2) Male and female

  15. Yang and Eum in the same body 1) Plants 2) Molecules, atoms 3) Some lower animals • Yang and Eum in different bodies 1) Humankind 2) Higher animals 3) Some plants • SS and HS are completely congruent. Yang and Eum are complementary.

  16. Yang Eum SS God Yang Eum HS 3. The Relationship between the Dual Characteristics of SS and HS and Those of Yang and Eum The dual characteristics of SS and HS are fundamental to those of Yang and Eum. The dual characteristics of Yang and Eum are attributes of those of SS and HS.

  17. human beings creation mind God 4. God and the Creation The creation is a perfect organic body that moves only according to God’s purpose of creation. God: SS, Yang, subject creation: HS, Eum, object

  18. 5. God 1) The harmonized subject of the dual characteristics of Original SS and Original HS 2) The harmonized subject of the dual characteristics of Original Yang and Original Eum 3) God stands in the position of SS, Yang and subject in relationship to the whole creation.

  19. Reference: The Nature of God 1) The origin of parental heart and love 2) The source of beauty, truth and goodness 3) The source of order, law and principle 4) The eternal, unchanging and absolute being

  20. Emotion, Intellect, Will, Heart Original SS Original HS Concepts, Law UPE Reference: The Heart (Shimjung) of God Heart is the “emotional impulse to obtain joy through love.” Heart is both the source of love and, at the same time, the chief motive behind love.

  21. Yang Yang human beings SS Eum Eum Individual truth body in image Yang Yang HS Eum Eum Yang Eum SS Principle of Creation God Yang Eum HS Yang SS all things Eum Individual truth body in symbol Yang HS Eum B. The Relationship between God and the Creation

  22. Yang: bright, lively Eum: sentimental or placid emotion Yang: planning, creative Eum: analytical, evaluating Mind (SS) intellect Yang: initiates and takes charge Eum: passive or responsive, enduring will Yang: protruding or convex parts Eum: sunken or concave parts Body (HS) Reference: Yang and Eum as Attributes of SS and HS

  23. God internal causal subject vertical Creation external resultant object horizontal

  24. Taeguk the Great Ultimate Eum and Yang (negativity) (positivity) || Tao (“The Way”) || word | all things O-haeing (5 elements) wood fire soil metal water God all things Word The Principle of Creation and the Book of Changes

  25. Book of Changes: Yang Eum SS Eum (negativity) God Taeguk YangEum HS Yang (positivity) Principle of Creation:

  26. Universal Prime Energy, Give and Receive Action,and the Four Position Foundation Section 2

  27. A. Universal Prime Energy God: the Creator, transcendent of time and space, absolute reality, eternally self-existing UPE: - the absolute energy by which God is eternally self-existing • the fundamental energy which generates • all forces by which the creation maintains • its existence

  28. God + - give receive UPE common base subject object (SS) receive give (HS) forces of GRA forces (existence, action, multiplication) B. Give and Receive Action

  29. forces of GRA: external, resultant, object a horizontal force UPE: internal, causal, subject a vertical force

  30. e.g., molecules: cation anion atoms atoms   • plants: stamen pistil • xylem phloem • animals: male female • inhalation exhalation between animals bees flowers and plants: oxygen carbon dioxide solar system: sun planets earth moon atoms: proton electron

  31. man mind arteries woman body veins human beings: husband parents wife children family: employee pupil employer teacher society: people nation: government other nations world: nation

  32. Subject object subject of goodness conscience = God force of conscience The Force of Conscience from the Viewpoint of GRA

  33. 1) The individual God God God Fall Restoration person person Satan Jesus mediator person Satan The Fall and Restoration from the Viewpoint of GRA

  34. Jn 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.” Jn 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

  35. God Fall God Jesus mediator Restoration person person person person person person fallen world restored ideal world 2) The world God person person person ideal world

  36. Restoration of horizontal GRA through love and sacrifice centering on Jesus restoration of vertical GRA with God

  37. Bible verses emphasizing GRA: Mt 7:1,2 “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get.” Mt 7:12 “So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for this is the law and the prophets.” Mt 10:32 “So every one who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven.”

  38. Mt 10:41 “He who receives a prophet because he is a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward, and he who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.” Mt 10:42 “And whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.”

  39. God Origin + - subject object Division union Union C. The Four Position Foundation Which Fulfills the Three Objects Purpose through Origin-Division-Union Action 1. Origin-Division-Union Action

  40. God subject object father mother union child 2. The Three Objects Purpose

  41. God subject object union 3. The Four Position Foundation - root of the numbers 4, 3 and 12 - root of the principle of three stages - basic foundation for goodness, existence, and force - God’s eternal purpose of creation

  42. God S O Each subject and object rotates on its own axis and at the same time they revolve around others. a. The Mode of Existence of the Four Position Foundation e.g., atoms solar systems galaxies universe

  43. Variations in each orbit’s distance, shape, state, direction, angle, force and velocity are manifest as the beauty of creation in its infinite variety.
