Arising from One, Heaven is One.
Arising from One, Earth is Two.
Arising from One, Humanity is Three.

What is the goal of the three major creators that arose from the One? 
According to Yeompyomun, Heaven is magnificent for its mysteriousness and silence, and its work is to unite all into one through truthfulness. Earth is grand for its accumulation and preservation, and its work is to unite all into one through constant nurturing. Humans are great for their wisdom and abilities, and their work is to unite all into one through cooperation. 

Eastern Cosmology posits that Heaven, Earth, and Humanity stand as the principal characters in the cosmic narrative. Despite their varying dimensions and proportions, they share a common underlying principle—the mind that sparks creation and transformation. Considering Heaven and Earth as the parents of all humanity, humans also, as the offspring of these entities, are believed to inherit the potential embedded in the Ultimate One (God). Furthermore, it is humanity that brings to fruition the aspirations of both Heaven and Earth. Depending on the context, Heaven and Earth may symbolize pure yang and pure yin or represent time and space. In the sequence of cosmic emergence, Heaven takes precedence, followed by Earth, culminating in the advent of Humanity.

[Heaven, Earth, and Humanity in the Eastern Study]

The center of heaven and earth is the mind. Therefore, heaven and earth’s east, west, south, and north, and the human body all depend upon the mind. (JSD Dojeon 2: 105)

Heaven is principle. Since bright and lucid heaven is one with the heaven within the human mind, the principle that originates in heaven lies also within the human mind.
Heaven and earth and humanity are of the same mind; people must embrace this mind of heaven and earth and make it their own. (JSD Dojeon 2: 72)

Heaven and earth are the parents of humanity, and parents are the heaven and earth of their children. (JSD Dojeon 2: 22)

Born in the image of heaven and earth, the human being is the noblest being in all existence.
Heaven and earth beget humans and make use of them. You have been born as a human in this era when heaven and earth consummate their purpose through humans, so how can you be considered a human if you do not take part? (JSD Dojeon 2: 19)

What is the overarching purpose behind the historical process of creation and transformation managed by Heaven, Earth, and Humanity? Could it be the pursuit of maturity—a collective maturation involving Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, aiming to establish an ideal world through continual growth, expansion, and evolution? As we seek the unification of fragmented consciousness, strive for the realization of one mind, and foster the maturity of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, the vision unfolds—a world adorned with great peace, an immortal paradise, and a realm where the values of truth, goodness, and beauty flourish harmoniously under the noble banner of Hongik Ingan.

In the expansive realm of Eastern Cosmology, a profound comprehension unfolds—a narrative that paints the cosmos with the brushstrokes of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, all emanating from the ultimate source, the One. As Cheonbugyeong articulates, "Arising from One, Heaven is One. Arising from One, Earth is Two. Arising from One, Humanity is Three." This divine triad encapsulates the essence of creation, with each element playing a unique role in the cosmic symphony.

As we delve into the purpose of these architects, the teachings of Yeompyomun shed light on the aspirations that steer Heaven, Earth, and Humanity in their cosmic pursuits.

The interconnectedness of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity takes center stage in Eastern Cosmology, where they are revered as the primary characters in the universe. Born from the dynamic interaction of Heaven and Earth, humans are acknowledged as the offspring of these parents, embodying the foundational principles of yin and yang. The mind, hailed as the nexus of heaven and earth, serves as the binding force connecting these realms with the human body, illustrating the profound interdependence of all.

Quoting the sacred texts, "Heaven and earth are the parents of humanity, and parents are the heaven and earth of their children." This familial connection underscores humanity's responsibility to embody the noble qualities inherited from their heavenly ancestors.

In the cosmic dance orchestrated by Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, the ultimate goal reverberates with the evolution of maturity, continuous growth, and the unification of fragmented consciousness. This historical journey aspires to establish a world of great peace, realize the paradise of immortality, and manifest the values of truth, goodness, and beauty—a harmonious world under the banner of Hongik Ingan.

In the symphony of creation and transformation, Heaven, Earth, and Humanity synchronize their roles, working towards the grand crescendo of a universe realized in its fullest potential—a world where the essence of oneness prevails, and the celestial dance endures throughout eternity of cosmic existence.
