One notable characteristic of Daesoon Jinrihoe's view of time, is its perception of time as a passive entity. This signifies that, in the context of Daesoon Jinrihoe, time is subject to influence through experience, specifically undergoing re-calibration or governance. The summary of this perspective is as follows: Firstly, Daesoon Jinrihoe's understanding of time incorporates a historical viewpoint characterized by the law of entropy, which posits that disorder increases as time progresses. Secondly, within the world established by Daesoon Jinrihoe, time experiences transformation before and after the Great Opening. Prior to this event, time follows a helical model characterized by increasing chaotic disorder, whereas in the Later World, the helical model reflects only Mutual Beneficence, symbolizing progress and development in the era. Thirdly, the Great Opening re-calibrates time, serving as the criterion for determining human life. Prior to the Great Opening, time recorded human life in a manner marked by Mutual Contention, whereas afterward, it will record human life as being characterized by Mutual Beneficence. This re-calibration of time leads precisely to directional (spatial) re-calibration. Fourthly, the Great Opening re-calibrates the order of time and space. In the Former World, space held precedence over time. However, the Great Opening changes this dynamic, with time assuming precedence over space in the Later World. In this context, the integration of time and space establishes a worldview. Fifthly, in the worldview of Daesoon Jinrihoe, time serves as a vehicle for the governance of the Supreme God. The Supreme God governs all things by controlling time, orchestrating changes spanning birth (saeng, 生), growth (jang, 長), harvest (yeom, 斂), and storage (jang, 藏), much like how problems are resolved through natural progress without requiring deliberate action. Lastly, time functions as a medium through which entities that strive to achieve unification with the Dao come to govern all things. For this reason, achieving unification with the Dao in Daesoon Jinrihoe specifically refers to the governance of time.
