INTRODUCTION
🌌 In this philosophical examination, Master Woo Myung engages with Leibniz’s definition of time and space, which describes them as the order of coexistence and succession among monads. While this view insightfully rejects material notions of absolute space and time, Master Woo Myung goes further.
✨ From the standpoint of Truth, time and space are not fundamental realities — they arise only within the human mind-world. In their original state, monads simply exist as they are, without separation, movement, or temporal unfolding. This teaching invites us to transcend human-made frameworks and awaken to the timeless, spaceless nature of Truth itself, as revealed by Master Woo Myung. 🌿
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Leibniz on Time and Space — What Is Right and Wrong
Leibniz defined time and space in the following way: he said we see the monads’ function of movement appearing as co-existence and separation as space, and that we see the continuous unfolding of monads’ inherent characteristics as time. Thus, time and space is nothing other than the order of co-existent objects and the order of successive events. Which parts of his theory are right and which are wrong?
From the perspective of Truth, time and space does not exist. Man’s life made time and space; thus where you are, is time and space. In other words, where man lives has time and space but they do not exist in the four-dimensional world. Therefore, what he said is not correct because they only exist in the human world.
If we were to explain this in another way, space is where monads have come to have form, and what exists in that space is time. Time and space do not exist for original monads. Moreover, co-existence and separation do not exist either. They simply exist as they are.

🌿 REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners are guided beyond conceptual frameworks of time and space toward direct realization of Truth as it is. 🌠
By cleansing the false mind, one awakens to the original, timeless, and spaceless nature of existence, just as taught by Master Woo Myung.
