하늘이 열리고 사다리가 내려오다(개천의 의미)

Gaecheonjeol on October 3rd, this day is a holiday. Since it is a national holiday, if you take a day off, you have to pay for the day off, so let's walk on the narrow road of life today. Gaecheon means that the sky opened for the first time. The first sentence of Gwanghwa, a poem by poet Lee Uk-sa, comes to mind. On a dark day, the sky opened for the first time, and I heard the sound of a fishing boat. But what does it mean that the sky opened for the first time? This is also called Gaebyeok and Gaecheon. The most fundamental is Cheonji Gaebyeok, which is exactly the abbreviation of Cheonggyejibyeok. The origin of Gaecheon is usually said to be the day when Dangun, Hwanung, or Hwanin came to this land, but I think that even such a thing is the story after the human society where you can hear the sound of a fishing boat. I want to travel a little further into the world. First of all, what is Cheonji and what is Ji? If Ji is a manifest image, Cheonji is a non-manifest image. If it's a reality, it's a little closer. Of course, it's not a perfect expression. If it's in our senses, it's land, it's oil. If it's outside our senses, it's the sky, it's a non-manifest image. It's a difference in layers, and it's also a distinction between roughness and fineness. So I think of a more subtle and distant openness of consciousness. There is a vast universe outside this world called Samgye that we live in. Samgye means the three great worlds, heaven, earth, and man. And the heaven among them is known as the wonderful world of 33,000, including Dosulcheon and Doricheon. But now the heaven we can imagine is the sky beyond the sky. The sky beyond Samgye. When you go beyond Samgye, you will be free from the endless repetition of force, and you will fall into a tranquil abyss. That is great freedom and great relief. Can we achieve that? Is the ladder to the sky that can achieve that really down to us in this age? First, let's look back at the ancient founding principles of our nation to find that hint. Hongik Human, Let's make human beings free from the distance. Oh, this is kindness and compassion. There is another one. Je-se-i-hwa. This means to rule the world in the right place by law. Let's save the world. And Seong-tong-gong-hwan. Many people may already be unfamiliar with this. But the ancestors were important. It is a very important phrase. Seong-tong-gong-hwan. It makes the inner self connect with the nature of the universe, that is, it unifies and completes the work. Let's take a closer look. Inside, it trains its mind and body, and outside, it helps people around the world to benefit from it. To be more specific, It is a desire to clean the mind. It is a desire to train the body. It is a ball that has been softened by virtue. The ball has gone beyond the three realms, and it has finally completed the work of the Great Leader. I have never seen a country with such a great founding monument. Looking back, it's beyond even a founding monument. Maybe it's the idea of ​​human life.
