INTRODUCTION

🌌 In this penetrating reflection, Master Woo Myung reinterprets Nietzsche’s famous proclamation that “God is dead.” Rather than accepting it at face value, he reveals that Nietzsche was pointing to a deeper problem — humanity’s inability to see the true God.

✨ According to Master Woo Myung, God has always existed in all things as the living Mind of existence itself. What “died” was not God, but man’s mistaken understanding of Him. In the age after the coming of Truth, all fragmented images of “many gods” will return to one living God, realized through nature’s flow. 🌿

ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG

Did Nietzsche Mean That God Is Dead?

Although gods are philosophical, the word God has a theological meaning, which is why Nietzsche claimed that, “God is dead.” Is this statement correct?

The meaning behind Nietzsche’s statement is that although God exists, people cannot see Him. There was always God in all things. This God is everything that moves, and in the time before the coming of Truth this was seen as the individual; thus there were many gods, but in the future all gods will unite and become one. It will become the time of the one God.

Nietzsche said that God is dead because people sought God from the outside world and did not know the true meaning of God. God exists but yet does not; does not exist and yet exists. God is the mind of existence, thus God is that which is as it is, and it is wrong to say that God is dead. It exists amidst nothingness, and it does not exist within existence. Such is God. All of these things becoming one according to nature’s flow is God of the time after the coming of Truth.
