¹Taemonim would always say, “It will not come to pass with My children; My work shall be fulfilled beyond the mainstream and then supersede it.”²These words were terribly unsettling to the disciples, but they dared not ask Her about their meaning.

³One day when Taemonim again repeated these words, Min-hwan finally asked Her, “You always speak those very words. Please teach me, today, the reason why the dao will be fulfilled beyond the mainstream and then enter into it.”

⁴But Taemonim would not articulate an answer beyond merely exclaiming, “Humph!”

⁵The disciples one day ardently implored Taemonim, “Mother, please let gaebyeok arrive as soon as possible to bring about a magnificent world.”

⁶“Even if you wait until your black hair turns white, that will not come to pass,” Taemonim said. “Do not wait.”

⁷Taemonim also declared, “There are predestined dosu in heaven and earth, so do not trouble yourselves about the coming of the time, but reform your minds.⁸In the times to come, you must traverse a terrible plight, which concerns Me.”
