π INTRODUCTION
β¨ What is the mind? Does it truly exist, or is it an illusion? πΏ
In this profound discourse, Master Woo Myung reveals that the human mind β filled with false thoughts, emotions, and attachments β is non-existent, for it is merely an illusion.
However, the mind of God, the mind of the Universe, is existence itself β a non-material yet real entity.
It is the pure emptiness that remains when all material form is subtracted from the Universe.
This living existence is the Creator, the Soul and Spirit that gives life to all. π
When oneβs mind becomes one with this true existence, one is reborn into eternal life, living as the Universe itself.
π ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Is the Mind Non-Existence?
Some people say that the mind is non-existence. Non-existence means it does not exist. The human mind is an illusion, so it does not exist even though it may seem to exist. However, the mind of God – the mind of the world – is the entity of Truth which actually exists although it has no form. The true mind is the pure emptiness that remains after all material is subtracted from the Universe. This pure empty Universe, the sky, exists. Doesnβt the sky still exist even after you are gone and the world is gone?
Some people say this existence, does not exist because it is non-material. However this existence is most certainly alive and its Soul and Spirit exists as oneness. Man and all the creations in the world are the representations of this existence. If asked what this existence looks like, the answer would simply be that everything in the world is this existence of Truth.
Because this existence is alive, it is the omnipotent Creator that creates everything in the whole world. When our minds become one with this existence, our minds are one with the mind of the world. Thus, one who is reborn in this world is without death.
For one who becomes the world, the world is his mind. Manβs mind does not exist because it is false. The mind of the Universe that is God is not nothingness; it is existence β a non-material real existence.

π REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners awaken to the true mind, the living existence beyond material form. π±
By discarding the false, human mind, one becomes one with the mind of the Universe β the eternal, non-material existence that gives life to all.
This is the realization that emptiness is existence, and that the true mind is the Creator itself. π
