  • Performing Reordering Works
    with the Law of Mutual Beneficence


    “My Reordering Works were unprecedented in the past and still are in the present;
    they were neither inherited from others nor do they belong to destiny;
    they are works that I make on My own.”


    Sangje, presiding over the Three Realms with great authority, undertook the Reordering Works of Heaven and Earth
    from 1901 to 1909. These are also known as the Reordering Works of the Great Opening of the Three Realms which
    rectified the Degree Numbers (Dosu: plans formed in Heaven) of the Former World that were previously dominated
    by Mutual Contention. These Works brought harmony among divine beings, solved ancient grievances and
    grudges, and aimed to build the Earthly Paradise of the Later World through the Dao of Mutual Beneficence.

    The Former World had fallen into a terrible state wherein the denizens of the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth,
    and Humanity could not communicate with one another due to the accumulation of grievances and grudges
    that had formed due to Mutual Contention. For the Great Opening of these Three Realms, Sangje first performed
    a Reordering Work that harmonized divine beings by releasing grievances from the Divine Dao and recalibrating
    the Degree Numbers of Heaven and Earth. This laid down the foundation for the Earthly Paradise of the Later World, where the order of Heaven and Earth will come to operate in Mutual Beneficence.

    Additionally, He performed the Reordering Work of Grievance-Resolution for Danzhu (the son of King Yao).
    This was the root-grievance behind all grievances that had accumulated millennium after millennium within
    the Three Realms. As such, all grievances originated from that root-grievance, spread out, and eventually came
    to pervade the Three Realms. As a result, the resolution of Danzhu’s grievance made all other grievances eligible
    for resolution. In particular, Sangje brought harmony between human beings and divine beings and enabled
    the formation of mutual guidance between divine beings and human beings. Therein, the path to Mutual
    Beneficence was opened, and all the grievances and grudges accumulated from time immemorial can eventually
    gain release.

    Sangje’s Reordering Works of Heaven and Earth encompassed divine beings and human beings, ethnic groups
    and nationalities, all lands and all things, and creation. Given their expansive breadth, these acts can also be termed
    the Reordering Works of the Three Realms. Sangje’s Reordering Works allowed divine beings and humans
    to achieve harmony according to the law of the Resolution of Grievances for Mutual Beneficence, and it opened up
    the Age of Human Nobility, an era wherein humans preside over the civilization of the Later World.

    “Presiding over the Three Realms with great authority,
    I will recalibrate the Degree Number of the Former World and
    open the destined pathway to a limitless Earthly Paradise in the Later World.”

    “I will recalibrate the Degree Number of Heaven and Earth, harmonize the divine beings,
