INTRODUCTION
β¨ In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung explains the meaning of the Consciousness of the Wholeβthe state in which one has been reborn from animitta (non-existence) to nimitta (existence), realizing that both are wholly one. This is the original consciousness, the one Truth, the very mind of God. πΏ
When a person gains this consciousness, the individual self disappears and becomes the Whole. He lives as Truth, resurrected with eternal life. The world of this consciousness is true Paradise, where Heaven and the Universe exist as one within the mind. π
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Consciousness of the Whole
That one has achieved βdΕ (Truth)β means
one has been reborn from
the animitta-Truth to the nimitta-Truth.
Non-existence bears forth existence;
non-existence and existence are wholly one.
The countless things of the universe
are all the one Truth.
Truth is the original consciousness β
the one consciousness.
God is the consciousness.
God is the omnipotence
that knows and does everything.
This God existed before the universe
and will exist after.
God is the one who created the universe.
God is Truth itself.
Even when it comes to being reborn,
God is the one who allows for it to be so;
so he who is reborn as God β
as the Holy Ghost and the Holy Father β
will live.
The Holy Ghost and the Holy Father are
the βJung (Body)β and the βShin (Mind)β respectively
in which this Jung and this Shin are
the Body and the Mind of man.
A person who has been reborn with
the original consciousness gains this consciousness
in which the individual is the Whole.
And within himself, he lives as Truth.
Thus he has come to be resurrected;
he has gained eternal life.
The Land of the consciousness of the Whole
is true Paradise.
Both the existence and non-existence of image are one.
It is as Truth that all things are reborn.
It is when man has been reborn as Truth β
as Buddha and God β
that every creation in the universe will be resurrected
and will thus live.
It is only when manβs consciousness
has been reborn as Truth
that he will live in the Land of Truth;
only then would he be living a life that is of Truth.
For man to see Paradise and Heaven while he is alive,
he must have within himself
Truth, which is the consciousness of the Universe.
Then he would be Truth,
and it is this Truth β this Universe that is Paradise β
that would see Paradise and Heaven β
the one Land of Truth.
This Land would be in his consciousness,
and as such, his consciousness would be Truth β
his consciousness would be the Universe.
Therefore, he would be able to see Heaven.
True Paradise exists inside the consciousness of
a person who has become the oneness,
which is why all creations are the one Truth.
Thus all will be born in Heaven
and will live there eternally.
