INTRODUCTION
β¨ In this teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that to completely die means to eliminate oneβs body and mind, the entire false universe one has accumulated. Only when the false self has disappeared entirely can Truth reside within.
True death is the foundation for rebirth as Truth, where one transcends religion, concepts, knowledge, and all habits to awaken to the world of completion. πΏ
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
To Have Completely Died
That one has completely died means
one has completely eliminated his body and mind.
Truth can reside in oneβs body
only when one has discarded
the false universe, which is his false mind.
He who has completely died
knows that he is completely dead,
and he knows that only God exists.
Only the sole God exists in this universe,
and unless one becomes Him,
there is no way one can become Truth.
During his one lifetime,
every person must die and then be reborn as Truth.
Every person must be enlightened of
sila, samadhi, and prajna.
Furthermore, one must go beyond religion
to reach the world of completion.
One is able to completely die when one has eliminated
the whole of oneβs knowledge, know-how, religion,
ideologies, philosophy, fixed conceptions, habits,
as well as oneβs self.
And one who has completely died will receive a sealβ
a seal to show that Truth resides in oneβs forehead.

REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners learn the essential meaning of complete death: the removal of the false universe created by oneβs mind.
Only when every layer of selfβknowledge, memory, religion, ideology, habits, and egoβis discarded can one be reborn as Truth.
This state is where God, Truth, and the Universe exist as one, and the practitioner enters the world of completion with a mind as clear and vast as infinity. π
