Welcome, Cheondoism
“To serve a person is to serve Heaven.”
— Choe Si Hyong, Donghak doctrine
Cheondoism teaches that every person carries the divine within them — Innaecheon, “man is heaven.” If God is within every person, then harming another is not merely a social offence but a violation of the sacred. The Ultimate Law arrives at the same conclusion without the theology: every agent’s boundary is sovereign, and crossing it without consent creates a victim. Cheondoism rejects otherworldly salvation in favour of building paradise on earth through moral action — the same practical focus the Ultimate Law demands.
The Ultimate Law
Logic is the ultimate law.
Do not do to others what they would not want to be done to them, or you will be punished regardless of your will.
The purpose of punishment is to erase guilt, via retribution and restitution.
That is the entire law; it cannot be changed, all the rest is commentary.
