🔎 Introduction
In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung explains what it truly means to “remain in Truth” and “remain in God.”
To abide in God is not merely to believe intellectually. It is to eliminate the self completely so that only Truth remains. 🌟
When the false self dies and repentance is complete, one dwells in God’s Land — Heaven — even while living.
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Remain in Truth, Remain in Me
Man must remain in God and in Truth.
Truth is God and God is Truth
and so unless a person no longer has his self
and becomes wholly God,
he cannot dwell in Him.
Unless he dies,
he cannot know God, nor can he dwell in God.
Completely abandoning his self, who is a sinner,
is the only way to completely repent for his sins.
The world without one’s self
is where there is eternal life; it is Heaven.
He who has completely repented for all of his sins
while he is alive
is the one who will reside in God’s Land.
Such a person is one
who truly believes in the Truth while he is still living;
He is one who has been born into Heaven through faith
and so he will not die.
– Woo Myung
🌿 Reflect at Santa Clara Meditation
At Santa Clara Meditation, remaining in Truth means abiding without self. 🌱
To “die” does not mean physical death, but the death of the sinful, self-centered mind.
When the self disappears:
- Repentance is complete
- Truth alone remains
- Eternal life begins
Heaven is not reached after death.
It is entered when one remains in God while living.
