What does it mean to say Heaven is man?
In this poetic reflection, Master Woo Myung reveals that Heaven is not a distant place, but an existence that is, in and of itself—a presence inseparable from man and the universe.
Yet man does not know this. He does not recognize his own origin, and so he lives unaware of the Truth: that Heaven, Earth, and Man are one. Through Santa Clara Meditation, you can return to this foundation and realize your true self.

📝 Original Writing by Master Woo Myung
Man
After taking a deep breath,
I whistle a tune.
They are the stories created with the passage of time.
The will of Heaven
always seems to be conveyed somewhere.
Heaven does not exist,
but it exists in and of itself,
which is why there is nothing it cannot do with ease.
Man lives not knowing that
Heaven, earth, and man are one in the same.
Man lives as man.
Man is the only one who does not know the foundation.
He does not know that Heaven is man.
He does not know that there is only one Heaven.
Man simply knows nothing.
Even the ones who say they do
actually do not.
🌱 Reflect at Santa Clara Meditation
Heaven is not beyond you—it is within you.
Return to the foundation of oneness and awaken the Truth inside.
