✨ Introduction
🌙 In this deeply reflective writing, Master Woo Myung reveals the meaning of God’s will, the flow of time, and the true purpose of human life.
Human life, often compared to a dream, a cloud, or a fleeting moment, passes without realizing Truth. Yet behind this fleeting existence lies a profound purpose—to return to the origin and be reborn as Truth itself. 🌌
This teaching uncovers why humans live with greed, suffering, and impermanence, and how one can transcend this cycle to live in the eternal land of Truth. ✨
🌌 Original Writing by Master Woo Myung
God’s Will
The waning crescent moon is drifting
as if it is being carried away by the clouds.
Since when, I do not know
but the people of old must have seen this moon
and they must have seen the sun in the sky as well.
The silently flowing water,
flows and flows until it merges with the sea
and they unite without conflict.
In the countless ages that have passed,
there have been countless joys and sorrows of people’s greed;
greed that arose from feelings of inferiority.
They remain as stories all over the world;
these stories have become history,
and are too numerous to count.
In the silent passage of time
man cannot live as the flow of time.
He holds his stories in his heart
and is unable to be one with the world.
He struggles inside his dream to make his dreams come true
but along with the time that has passed
he too, has disappeared and is gone.
The life that is lived only in a dream
is a life of wandering, lost inside that dream
and just as it has always been,
people continue to dream dreams
without knowing when their dreams will come true.
Man is not able to be born and live in the true world;
he disappears after living the futile life of a dream.
This is why people of old said human life is the life of a weed;
a life of a bubble;
a life of a floating cloud;
a life of a mere dream;
a life that is a useless existence;
a life of a dayfly;
a life like smoke;
a life that does not, does not exist.
All people who have come and gone
lived their lives this way.
I see that no one has become one with the world;
no one has been born as Truth;
everyone is gone.
No one in the world can stem the passage of time
that flows without meaning or purpose.
Everyone vanishes along with time;
whatever exists all disappears.
One may wonder, if God is perfect and complete,
why he is allowing man to live with pain and burden;
why he is letting us live only to die.
While one may question and doubt,
those questions and doubts are only the thoughts of man.
The profound will of God was to make man only resemble him;
to make man have greed for material possessions
by making him copy all things in God’s kingdom.
This greed led man to multiply in vast numbers,
and propelled the development of human civilization.
This was in order to harvest as many people as possible
at a time when the human population is at its densest,
so that as many as possible can live in the kingdom of God.
If man had been created complete,
he would not have felt the need to have children
for he would not have had any greed,
and the human civilization would not have developed.
God creates all of creation;
therefore all creations must return to his bosom
and be reborn as his children –
then they are Truth and without death,
and can live eternally in the land of Truth.
If one repents and completely disappears from the world
only the origin, the original foundation, remains.
Then, if God resurrects him in the land of Truth,
the original foundation, he becomes an eternal immortal.
Now is the time,
along with the world, to become one that lives,
instead of living an empty, futile, cloud-like life.
There is nothing more important than everyone repenting
and coming into the land of Truth and living.
Do not blame the passing time, the world,
or anyone.
When one blames his useless self and discards his self
he will not blame time, the world, or others.
This is the way the world can become one,
and the way to go to heaven while living;
and those who have completely repented will live forever.
When one sees the world after being born in the true world
everything that exists is Truth,
everything he sees is Truth.
All things in the world live according to their shape and form
and when seen from the viewpoint of the world, all are one;
The source, the emptiness that is alive, is the master.
Existence is non-existence, non-existence is existence;
this is the source, the original foundation.
