The BuDoZhi

By Thomas Yoon





"The Great City of MaGo was in the highest place on earth. In accordance with Heaven's Ordinance, it succeeded the Former Heaven.... MaGo was born in the Age of Presage. She did not have the emotion of joy and anger....", says the BuDoZhi (The History of the City of Heaven's Ordinance), an ancient Korean document hidden from public view for more than 1,500 years.

According to the BuDoZhi and based on the author's interpretation presented in this book, the Earth (and perhaps the entire solar system) goes through the cycle of rebirth every 26,000 years. MaGo is the name of the Mother Goddess (Prime Consciousness) of the Earth who manifested herself from the original tone (vibration) of the Earth during the Age of Presage, a period of repose between the previous cycle and the current cycle. The spiritual origin of the human race, apart from the Darwinian theory of biological evolution, can be traced back to the primordial vibration of this pure period.

During the Age of Presage, the entire globe was submerged in water. The current cycle of the Earth began when MaGo pulled another celestial body into the watery Earth about 13,000 years ago. With the combined energy of these two celestial bodies, the Earth began its rotation again, and life-activity jump started back on the surface of the Earth. The Earth was surrounded by a ring from which harmonizing tone was continuously emitted towards the Earth.

After the initial period of creation, the Earth was periodically bombarded with comets for several thousand years, which resulted in at least three pole shifts between 10000 BC and 5000 BC. Also, these comets destroyed and reshaped the ring structure several times until its final elimination, and caused the return and recession of another Ice Age. Moreover, they caused many catastrophes including the Flood of Noah around 5500 BC, and the final formation of the Moon into its present shape around the same time.

Human ancestors, numbering more than 12,000 in four different races, had to evacuate the City of MaGo - the original garden of Eden believed to have been located in the highlands of the Pamir - during this calamity and dispersed into four different locations, all (at least three) of which became the cradle of civilization later on.

For about 7,000 years, the world had generations of the masters who strove to preserve the orginal principle of creation and keep humans in pure and harmonious unity. Two of these masters, HanUng (Anu) and ImGum (DanGun/DinGir) had far reaching influence over a wide region of the Earth, practically initiating a period of advanced civilization. Their dynastic history lasted from circa.4000 BC to 238 BC. The official version of Chinese history has erased, suppressed, and badly distorted the history of these masters. And their history remained vaguely in the memory of the Korean people, almost in the realm of myths.

This book is the first attempt to translate the BuDoZhi into English and to understand its archaic language with modern rational and scientific view in conjunction with other mythologies and histories of the world. The BuDoZhi - comparable to the Bible and the Popul Vuh - stands out as one of the most unique and import!ant sources in the study of the true picture of our common past.
