INTRODUCTION
✨ In God’s World Beyond the Human World II, Master Woo Myung explains that religious terms like heaven, paradise, and the divine world all point to the same reality—the true world of God. 🌌
🌿 He teaches that the human world is a self-made world of illusion formed by the false mind. When this illusionary world and false self are completely discarded, one returns to the original foundation—the living world of Soul and Spirit. đźŚ
This is the land where there is no birth, aging, sickness, or death. It is the eternally living world that remains when the false mind disappears. ✨
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
God’s World Beyond the Human World II
The religious terms, “heaven”, “paradise”, “the world of the Great Jade Emperor” and “the world of the divine hermit” all refer to the true world. This world is the world of God. The human world is one where man receives his body from his parents and turns against the true world from his birth. He comes into this world of sin, betrays the Creator, which is the world and origin, and makes and lives in his own world. This is why man is a sinner. If the false and illusionary human world made by one’s self is completely demolished and his false self also completely disappears, he will go back to the original foundation, which is God’s world. God’s world beyond the human world is where one can live forever without death as an eternally living immortal. It is heaven and “the world of the divine hermit”.
If the human world disappears, only God’s world remains. The origin and Creator of the Universe is the original foundation. You are able to exist because there is a foundation that is the Earth on which to exist, and in turn the Earth is also able to exist because of the foundation on which it exists – the empty sky. The empty sky is the original foundation. This existence is the living existence which is Jung and Shin, Soul and Spirit, the Holy Father and Holy Spirit, Dharmakaya and Sambhogakaya; it is the world of the origin’s body and mind which existed from the beginning. He who has been absolved of all his sins and karma will have nothing remaining in his mind. When his self that is a sinner dies and disappears, God’s world becomes his mind. His self and the world that are reborn as the true Soul and Spirit in God’s world will live eternally without death.
Once you have been absolved of all your sins and karma and neither your self nor your mind world remains, you can go to the origin, the land of God and the Creator. The land you go to after the death of your false self is the land of God. Man lives in a world with innumerable worries, thoughts and delusions, with countless sufferings and burden but the land of God is one of freedom and liberation where there is no birth, old age, sickness or death; a world that is free from everything. This world is Truth, a complete world.
According to the Korean book of prophecy Gyok-am-yu-rok, one should not seek the ten havens of earth but he should seek the havens of the sky. The havens of the sky is heaven, a land of completeness itself where you just live, having laid down all burden; a land that is eternally alive.
During a talk with a clergyman, I spoke about people who try to go to heaven without repenting their sins and cleansing their karma. This is comparable to trying to eat a chicken without plucking its feathers. With a laugh, I said that people try to go to heaven, the land of God with the cold and calculating mind of a snake. However just as a chicken cannot be eaten without first having plucked its feathers, one cannot go to heaven, the land of God, without having repented one’s sin and karma. That is, one cannot achieve a result without first having gone through the process to achieve it.
Man may try to get to heaven without cleansing his sins and karma, but he will fail because there is no other way. Cleansing one’s sin and karma is the way to the land of God; and only when there is a method to do so, can one actually get there. When this method comes out in the world, it is the way to achieving human completion, namely, becoming God.
This has become possible through the method of completely discarding one’s own self, which is his worst enemy. In Buddhism, mahayana mahaparinirvana means a “big” death: the complete elimination of one’s false body and mind. Parinirvana refers to a complete death without any remains. This is the way to get to the land of God. Christ’s death on the cross teaches us that death is the bridge between man and God.
The world after the death of one’s false self is the land of God; a forever-living, never-dying world; a world of freedom; a world of happiness itself. He who dies and is born in God’s world while he is living is God.
