Introduction
✨ In this thought-provoking teaching, Master Woo Myung redefines the meaning of demons. Rather than supernatural beings, he explains that demons are actually human beings who live with delusions, attachments, and greed.
According to Master Woo Myung, when people are not aligned with Truth, their minds become filled with desires, comparisons, and social hierarchies. These mental attachments create separation between people and give rise to a world driven by status, wealth, and personal ambition. 🌌
This teaching suggests that the true “demon world” is not somewhere else, but exists within the human mind itself. When individuals remove the delusions and attachments within their minds, they can return to their original nature and allow Heaven to exist within themselves.
Through this insight, Master Woo Myung encourages people to eliminate their inner demons so that humanity, Heaven, and the earth may once again become one harmonious existence. 🌿
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Demons
People think that demons are creatures that are far from being human, when actually demons are sinners with delusions. In other words, a human being who is not one with Truth is a demon.
In the previous heaven, there lived a god of want who was not completely Truth. Because such a god lived in heaven, in it there was separation amongst people, social standing, and the highness and lowness of rank.
Heaven is the foundation of man’s mind, and because such a god dwelled in that place, even in this world, there has been separateness amongst people as well as the highness and lowness of status.
Furthermore, because such things have been in the very origin of our minds, this earth has become the world of demons.
This earth – this world of demons – is a place where people cannot live together as one; it is where money and social status are the standards of a person’s worth.
Because the god of want was incomplete, he could not give life, which was why the earth became a world of attachment and greed.
That is why this world is a demon world, and why man is a demon – because of his attachments and greed.
The time has come to banish those demons from Heaven and from this earth.
It is now time for Heaven, earth, and man to become one by driving out one’s own demons – his own delusions – so that Heaven will be built on earth and man can be reborn as the master of the world.
It is man himself that is the demon.
Each person has the whole world in him, but he cannot be born again as a child of Heaven while harboring his own countless demons.
When the demons in Heaven are cast out and eliminated, Heaven will be built in man’s mind.
Man will have Heaven inside him, and thus he will not die for he is Truth.
Indeed, the demon is the sinner; the demon is death.
— Woo Myung
