Gaebyeok
Gaebyeok (Korean: 開闢, the "great opening", literally "opening dawn") is a sudden change in nature, society, and people in the Korean religion of Jeungism or Jeung San Do.[1]
Gaebyeok can mean a dramatic change within a person, such as a transformation in one's physical condition or a sudden spiritual awakening, or gaebyeok can refer to a transformation in society.
Etymology
Both syllables, gae (開) and byuk (闢), mean "to open." The word comes from the Sino-Korean phrase cheon-ji-gae-byeok (天地開闢), which means "heaven opens and earth opens."
Mythos
Throughout a Cosmic year there are major gaebyeoks and minor gaebyeoks. Every Cosmic month (10,800 years) there is a minor gaebyeok accompanied by a minor but sudden shift of the Earth's axis. Every Cosmic season (20,000–50,000 years) there is a major gaebyeok with a more dramatic shift in the Earth's axis.
