People often talk about “being true to yourself.”
But what if the self you trust in—isn’t real?
Master Woo Myung teaches that all people are born as the false self, living in illusion.
They do not live in the actual world, but inside a mind world made of pictures and memories.
This mind is false.
And the self that comes from it—karma, habit, body—is also false.
People live out their lives inside this internal videotape, unaware that it’s not real.
To be free, one must discard the false self and return to the world that is real and true.

📝 Original Writing by Master Woo Myung
What Is the False Self?
All people who are born in this world are the false and incomplete self. Humans are false because they live inside their illusions. These illusions consist of pictures of the universe that is Truth and their entire lives lived, which are stored in their mind worlds. People mistakenly believe that they are living in the world, but they have never lived in the world. Within the false worlds, they carry out false work and simply die—this is a person’s life.
Inside their minds, which are false, people are slaves to the illusions because they live controlled by the false minds. Humans are slaves of those illusions because they live inside their false minds and live according to what their false minds direct them. The human mind is the karma, habit, and body, which are false. Every deed that is done while they have this human mind is not real. The self, which is a picture, is also not real. What is not real does not exist. One lives inside the world of his own videotape.
