INTRODUCTION
✨ In this teaching, Master Woo Myung explains why the Universe is neither expanding nor contracting, despite scientific theories suggesting otherwise. People believe the Universe is expanding because they interpret observations through their own viewpoint, but the Universe simply exists as it is, without beginning, end, increase, or decrease.
The Universe is endless, unreachable even by eternal light, and its nature does not change. Creation arises and disappears within it, but the Universe itself remains eternal and constant. 🌌
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Is it correct to say that the Universe is expanding or that it will contract?
The Universe just exists as it is, but it is said to be expanding because people view it in this way. Man thinks that it is expanding but it has always been just as it is. The Universe is just as it is, without end. It does not disappear, nor does it increase in size.
People cannot actually see the Universe but they speak of it as if they have, when in fact they saw it through scientific means. However, it is not something that can be seen. It is completely wrong to assume that its size can be ascertained by what we can see. The ends of the Universe cannot be reached even by light travelling for eternity. Such is what it is to be endless. It is said that the Universe is expanding and that it will contract, but the Universe neither expands nor contracts. The creation of things in existence also just happens. Such is Truth.
– Woo Myung
REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, seekers learn to understand the Universe not from scientific speculation but from the perspective of Truth.
When one becomes the Soul and Spirit of the Universe, it becomes clear that the Universe is not expanding or shrinking—its nature is eternally unchanging, infinite, and beyond human measurement.
Creation arises and disappears within it, but the Universe itself remains as it is, forever. 🌠
