They are important bases in the cultivation of public common character in the Eastern Learning's public common world. The hopes of Su-wun were projected on the spell and magic figure as sincerity in the context of keeping with God. In reality, the spell and the talisman mean the public trans-versal mediation which Su wun obtained in the mystical experience.

이 글은 동학의 성경신에 나타난 공공세계를 고찰한 글이다. 수운은 자신의 동학이 성경신 세 글자에 있다고 말하는 데, 성경신은 공공세계를 이룬다. 공공세계는 자타(自他)가 더불어 향유하는 공공가치를 추구하면서 영성공동체를 지향한다. 따라서 동학의 성경신은 정성, 공경, 믿음을 공공으로 함양하여 동학 공동체의 공적 차원과 사적 차원을 이어주고 매개하고 살린다. 이처럼 동학의 성경신은 한울님을 정성으로 섬기면서 바른 기운을 이어가는 수운선생의 ‘수심정기’, 천지인 사이를 공경으로 이어주고 살리는 해월선생의 ‘삼경’과, 무체(無體))의 법을 극진히 닦아 인천상통(人天相通)의 새 길을 제시한 의암선생의 ‘인내천’에 대한 믿음으로 나타난다. 공공세계의 온전한 실현을 위해서 성령출세와 상관 연동하는 가운데 ‘동귀일체(同歸一體)’를 강조한다. 이는 돌아가신 선령, 살아있는 생명, 태어날 미래의 존재까지 함께 아우른다. 따라서 수심정기ㆍ삼경ㆍ인내천으로 나타난 동학의 성경신은 보국안민ㆍ광제창생ㆍ성령출세의 공공세계로 이어져서 동학으로서 ‘동귀일체’를 지향하면서 정성, 공경, 믿음의 성경신은 ‘한’으로 귀착하여 삼일정신을 향유한다. 이는 곧 하늘․ 땅․ 인간의 세 실재의 각각을 존중하면서도 어느 하나를 흡수하거나 폐기하는 합체(合體)가 아니라, 상호회통(相互會通)하면서 생명을 공공으로 이어주고 살리면서 삼일 공공세계를 여실하게 보여주는 특징을 드러낸다.
