¹At the great beginning, heaven and earth came into being. ²Amidst the glorious resplendence of the sudden opening of the universe was Samsin. Samsin is the One Spirit, the universe’s Holy Spirit of Creation-Transformation.

³Samsin gave birth to heaven and earth and begets all that exist.

⁴Being one with Samsin, God governs all the universe from Heaven’s Golden Palace; and so it is that the people of Joseon, who have long dwelt in the Eastern land, have known him since ancient times as Samsin Sangjenim, Samsin God, or Sangjenim. ⁵Sangjenim is the Supreme Governor of the Universe and God the Ruler.

⁶Joseon of the East, the fountainhead and sovereign land of Spirit Teaching, has long worshiped Sangjenim and the spirits of heaven and earth. Joseon is the homeland of all the world’s traditions of offering rituals to the spirits.

⁷Despite this, beginning in the Several States Period that followed the Three Sacred Nations known as Hwanguk, Baedal, and Joseon, ancient historical roots have been severed by the distortion of history by China’s Han people and by Japan, causing profound and widespread suffering.

⁸Sangjenim incarnated as a human into the land of Joseon to deliver humans and spirits by restoring the root of humanity’s history and by renewing heaven and earth, which had grown diseased, through the dao of seeking out the beginning and returning to the origin. ⁹It was his incarnation that had been heralded by Shakyamuni, Jesus, Confucius, and myriad other sages and awakened ones whom he had sent to the world.
