INTRODUCTION
✨ In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung distinguishes between the original mind, which is the Universe itself, and the human mind, which is made of thoughts.
The human mind arises from the struggle to survive, creating a self rooted in greed and accumulated memories. Although man originally had the mind of the Universe, he has become trapped inside the thought-mass he created.
To return to the origin—the Universe—one must eliminate the human mind, the remembered thoughts, and the self born from them. Only by shedding greed and discarding the accumulated mind can one become complete and achieve Truth. 🌿🧠✨
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Mind
There is the original mind
and the human mind.
The original mind is the Universe,
and the human mind is thoughts.
The human mind is created because
one’s struggle to survive creates thoughts,
which form a self.
Man’s mind was originally the mind of the Universe,
but greed, from the human mind, came to exist
because of his life.
His human mind created his self.
However, the human mind is also
the mind of the Universe.
The human mind is a thought mass,
whereas the mind of the Universe is vitality.
The human mind is a self that exists
within the mind of the Universe that is vitality.
If man is to return to the place from whence he came,
he must eliminate his mind.
His mind was formed and set
through the life he has lived.
Eliminating this,
is to cast off all remembered thoughts.
If he does not cast this off, he lives within himself
and in suffering, and even in death he bears burdens.
One’s human mind and one’s thoughts
refer to the same thing,
but because man does not know this,
he is not able to achieve Truth.
Man was made unable to return
to the origin by the Universe
because even though he is originally the Universe
he makes thoughts
and tears them down.
When a person is created,
he is born with a mind of a human-being,
and when an animal is made,
it is born with the mind of an animal.
Man and all creations have the same heart of the origin.
Their forms are not things that exist,
yet they are not non-existent either.
There is a truly existing real existence –
all creations and their minds are all mind.
The original mind is not separate
from man’s mind and the minds of all creations
but ego or self
is different from the original mind,
because of greed.
Only when one sheds his greed, is he complete.
– Woo Myung
