Encyclopedia
Unsibanbon is one of the main teachings of Jeung San Do
. Wun(原) means "origin" or "primitive" and Shi(始) means "beginning" or "start". Ban(反) means "reverse" or "opposite" and Bon(本) means "origin" or "base". Its literal meaning is that returning to the origin.
and understand Gaebyeok
because Unsibanbon can be explained more detail in the context of Cosmic year
.
The one constant in the universe is change, and at the time of the Autumn Gaebyeok
, the direction of that change is returning to the origin. In our lives we often have the desire to return to our origins whether it means returning home after a long journey, discovering our ethnic and cultural roots, seeking the original purpose of our lives, or returning to the origin of life through meditation. The practice of returning to the origin is discovering who we truly are. It can also entail solving a problem at its root.
When yang (positive energy) reaches its end, it must return to its origin. Just like a cannonball shot to the sky directly, it goes up to the sky and at a certain point, it returns back to the ground. This action of return at the turning point is called Geukjeukban (克卽反).
As it is explained above, earth's four seasons can be contained in yin and yang. Spring and summer represent yang (positive energy) and autumn and winter represents yin (negative energy).
When summer reaches its end (end of positive energy), just like a cannon ball reaches its turning point, it returns to its origin from its farther-reached-end.
This principle is important because Unsibanbon is happening regardless we acknowledge it or not. Also, it is important to accept and do our action with Unsibanbon this time of our life because it is natural like a shot cannonball returning to the ground from the sky. For this reason, many people meditate to be back to their origin.

Why Unsibanbon is important?
According to the eastern philosophy, everything is changing and it has its own cycle. It is not difficult to find a cycle. Even our planet earth has its own cycle. Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. This cycle is divided with four different seasons, but the principle below is always yin and yang.When yang (positive energy) reaches its end, it must return to its origin. Just like a cannonball shot to the sky directly, it goes up to the sky and at a certain point, it returns back to the ground. This action of return at the turning point is called Geukjeukban (克卽反).
