¹On June 29, Taemonim gathered Bak Jong-o, Go Chan-hong, Yi Geun-mok, Jeon Jun-yeop, Gahng Eung-chil, Gahng Sa-seong, Gahng Won-seop, Yi Seok-bong, and others. She had them seated, then had Go Min-hwan seat himself in the front facing them.²Taemonim, clad in male attire, seated Herself upon the altar and said to Chan-hong, “I am Gahng Jeung-san, and Go Min-hwan is Me. Offer your prostrations.”

³However, Chan-hong said to Her, “I wish for Sangjenim to come before the world in the flesh, not as a holy spirit,” and he did not perform the prostrations.

⁴Taemonim repeatedly ordered Chan-hong to do as She commanded, but he stubbornly refused each time.⁵Enraged, She struck him again and again with Her tobacco pipe and walking stick, beating Chan-hong so severely that his body was covered with welts and he could barely stand. Yet, still he refused to yield.

⁶Taemonim ceased Her display of anger and addressed Chan-hong and the other disciples, “Only when your faith is as unyielding as Chan-hong’s faith will Sangjenim come forth.”⁷She sent Chan-hong to his quarters to recuperate and ordered Jong-o, “Go outside and behold the sky.”

⁸Jong-o went outside, beheld the sky, and then reported, “A cloud has formed in the shape of a man kneeling and seeking forgiveness.”

⁹“That is Chan-hong. It will soon change shape.”

¹⁰A moment later, Jong-o informed Taemonim, “It has now changed into the shape of an ox.”

¹¹“Watch carefully, for it will change again,” said Taemonim. Jong-o did so, and the cloud changed into the shape of a dog.
