Introduction
✨ In this teaching, Master Woo Myung presents a unique perspective on the meaning of sin.
In many religious traditions, sin is often described as wrongful actions or moral wrongdoing. However, Master Woo Myung explains that the true root of sin is much deeper than actions or behavior. According to his teaching, the fundamental sin of humanity is living separated from Truth. 🌌
Because people live within their own conceptions, habits, and personal identities, they remain trapped inside the framework of the self. This separation prevents them from becoming one with the true nature of existence.
Master Woo Myung explains that humans were originally meant to resemble the Creator. This resemblance does not mean similarity in form, but rather complete unity with the mind of the Creator. When the countless thoughts and identities accumulated in the human mind are eliminated, a person can be reborn as the Soul and Spirit of the Universe.
Through this transformation, the individual no longer lives as a separate self but becomes one with Truth itself. 🌿
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Man’s Sin
Due to man’s conceptions and habits,
he is trapped inside the framework of his self,
and thus, he is not one with Truth.
This is man’s sin.
Having a self is sin.
There is only one sin that man can commit –
it is not being one with Truth.
This is the only sin there is.
It is said that man was made to resemble God,
and this means man’s mind was made
to become one with God.
When all human minds are eliminated,
and one is reborn as Soul and Spirit,
which is the mind of the Creator,
he resembles the Creator.
Resemblance here does not mean that the two are similar;
Resemblance here means that the two are the same,
and that he is this existence itself.
A person who resembles the Creator is a person of one,
a person who resembles the Creator is Truth.
He becomes God himself.
In order to resemble God,
he must eliminate his self completely,
even the Universe of his conceptions.
Then, only Truth, the origin, remains.
This is absolution of sin,
and this is the way to become Truth.
He who has many things in his conscious and subconscious mind,
cannot become one with Truth because of what he possesses.
When what he possesses is gone, he is oneness itself.
— Woo Myung
