ABSTRACT
The prevailing view on the genesis and development of ssial (seed) thought is that it has only Christian roots.
In this essay, presenting a contrary view, I argue that Ryu’s ssial thought shared common features with Taejonggyo (the Religion of the Divine Progenitor), with the latter serving as another root source for the thought of Ryu Yŏng-mo (1890–1981), founder of ssial thought, along with Christianity. Ssial refers to the everlasting and permanent life within humans.
It is generally accepted that Ryu, as a Christian thinker, in his interpretation of Samilsin’go (Teachings of the Trinitarian God), one of Taejonggyo scriptures, understood the immanence of ssial and construed it as abiding not only in the realm of the divine as a real ego of humanity, but also in the myriad things of the universe.
Taejonggyo embraces a worldview of immanence in which there is no unconnected life form or permanent disappearance, and it is closely related to Daoist thought.
