Introduction
✨ In this insightful teaching, Master Woo Myung explores the deeper question of how creation occurs and where all things originate. Rather than describing creation as something that begins from nothing, he explains that everything arises from the original existence of the Universe.
According to Master Woo Myung, all forms in the world emerge in harmony with their surroundings and follow the natural process of creation through the fundamental elements — earth, water, fire, and wind. These elements shape the forms of existence, yet they do not add anything new to the Universe or remove anything from it. 🌌
This teaching emphasizes that what people often call “creation” is actually a transformation of form, not the appearance of something entirely new. The visible forms of the world change continuously, but the metaphysical substance behind them remains constant.
Through this perspective, Master Woo Myung invites readers to contemplate the relationship between the physical world and the deeper reality from which all forms arise and to which they ultimately return. 🌿
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
What is the process and origin of creation?
Everything is created with a form that is appropriate for its surroundings.
Creation happens through earth, water, fire, and wind – these things are the source of creation and all things return to them eventually.
All things go through this creation process, but nothing is added to the Universe or subtracted from it; the Universe is as it is.
People believe that creation has happened when something comes into being but this is not creation; it is as it is and has always been.
For example, when coal is made into nylon its form and traits may change, but its source is still the same.
All things did not come into being from nothing. Rather, what has appeared with form is false and the metaphysical substance is what is real.
All things came into existence from the original existence: there was no creation that happened.
In other words, all things come from the metaphysical substance and return to it.
All celestial bodies form by the exhalation of God, the universe, and they disappear by the inhalation of God.
