π INTRODUCTION
β¨ In this deep and uncompromising teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that Truth is not something that can be understood intellectually, learned, or comparedβit is an existence that must be fully become. πΏ
He reveals that people fail to know Truth because they only rely on what exists in their minds from learning and experience, while Truth can only be known when the mind itself becomes Truth. π
This message points directly to the essence of completion: only Truth can recognize Truth, and only one who has become the biggest mind can truly know it. π
π ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
The Existence of Truth
The existence that is Truth is the origin of all creation, true law. This existence existed before the beginning and exists after the beginning. No one can know this existence of Truth without completely becoming it.
What people know is only what they have within their minds from their learning and their experiences; no one will know Truth if he does not have Truth within. One can know everything in the world by taking it into his mind; yet Truth cannot be known without becoming Truth. While teaching meditation, I found that those who have their own false conceptions of Truth tend to examine Truth and compare it to their own truth. It is difficult for such people to practice meditation because they have this additional layer of falseness.
Truth is something one has to have in his mind by cleansing it; it is not something one can just absorb into his brain. The existence of Truth is the sky before the sky; it existed before eternity and will exist after eternity; it created the universe and is the soul and spirit of the universe; it is the Creator. One who becomes this existence can see, know, and become Truth. The Creator is Truth; it is the mother and father of all creation.
One can become Truth and achieve human completion when one throws away his mind which is his conceptions and standards and also throws away his body. Then only Truth remains, and his mind is Truth itself. When one is that existence, then he is Truth. Only Truth can recognize Truth. Truth cannot be achieved with your head. Your mind is enlightened according to how much you have become Truth in your heart. Your mind can only accept to the extent it has expanded. Only one who has become the biggest mind and thus has become the complete Truth will be able to know Truth.
– Woo Myung
