Introduction
✨ In this powerful teaching, Master Woo Myung explains the difference between the living world of Truth and the life that human beings ordinarily experience. While the world itself is alive and eternal, human beings often live with countless worries, desires, and illusions created by the mind.
According to Master Woo Myung, people suffer because they pursue dreams that arise from the false mind, believing them to be meaningful and real. Yet these pursuits eventually lead only to hardship, because they are disconnected from Truth.
This teaching encourages readers to reflect deeply on what it means to truly live. Eternal life, as described by Master Woo Myung, is not something achieved after death but something realized when the false self disappears and the mind becomes one with Truth. 🌌
Through this realization, one can enter the living world of Truth, a state where Heaven exists within the mind and life is no longer bound by illusion or suffering. 🌿
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Let’s Go to the Living World
The world is alive,
but man is not.
The world simply just exists,
but man has countless hardships and dreams unreal dreams –
he does not know it is all meaningless and false
for he is not Truth,
and he dies after a lifetime of agony and anguish.
He is urgently told that one lives forever,
but he does not realize the true meaning of these words.
Isn’t it natural and logical that one dies
if he has not become Truth?
Man thinks that someone will save him even if he has not become Truth
but this idea is wrong;
so come to your senses and strive to become Truth,
for becoming Truth is of the utmost importance.
The world and man is what is real and false:
the world is real and man is false.
It is nonsense to think that one can live eternally
when his mind has not become the eternal world
and he has not been born in that land.
Do not try to find or achieve something,
for Truth is revealed only when one discards his false self
and the only thing man must do is to be born,
in the land of Truth by the will of Truth’s master.
If this is not done there is no purpose or reason for living.
Instead of living a human life of seventy or eighty years
live an eternal life, live to the life of the world –
only such a person is wise.
He who tries to possess more, commits more sins
while he who discards and eliminates even his self
can be born into the world of Truth.
One whose mind has become Truth has heaven in his mind;
the whole world lives
and he himself is born in his mind.
If there is only the mind of God within you
and no human minds at all,
you no longer take pictures and the master of the Soul and Spirit exists within you.
Your true soul must be born in the land of that original foundation
if you are to become a forever-living immortal.
He who talks of going to heaven after death
when he has not gone to heaven while he is living
cannot go to heaven; he dies forever.
— Woo Myung
