INTRODUCTION
π§ββοΈ The world within oneβs mind creates the world one lives in.
As Master Woo Myung teaches, everything we experience and become is determined by what exists in our minds. Our studies, professions, and relationships β even our happiness or suffering β all arise from the world we hold within.
However, the false world created by oneβs self-centered thoughts inevitably leads to death, while the true world β the world of God, Buddha, or Allah that exists within β leads to eternal life. When one discards the false and is reborn in the world of Truth, he becomes the eternal, deathless being that lives in the Land of Truth. πΏ
In this way, the mind is the beginning and end of all existence β the key to both mortality and immortality.
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
People Live According to Their Minds β One Who Has the True World in His Mind Will Live Without Death
Ever since we were little, we went to kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school, and college, and then studied in specialized fields in society according to what we majored in. One who studied law makes a living practicing law, a person who learned about architecture makes a living as an architect, and a person who studied computers makes a living with computers. One lives in this world with what he has in his mind.
Some who have an ability in their minds make their living with that ability. If you are equipped with an ability in the mind, you will be capable and will therefore live well. When you simply do the work that you do, do not have other distracting thoughts, and are second to none in what you do, you can live well because you are capable. Also, if you are humble and are considerate of others, there will be no blockages and you can live well. Just as you live your life according to what you have in your mind, when a person who has the false world in his mind comes to have the true world in his mind and is born again in the true world, he can live forever without death.
This is why it is said God, Buddha, Allah exists within me, and that the land of God, Buddha, Allah exists within me. Only the one who makes it exist within his mind while living can live eternally in the Land of Truth and live forever.
Whether one lives or dies also depends on what he has in his mind.
One who is born in the true world will live, and one who lives in the false world will end up dying when he dies. What you have βeatenβ or taken into your mind is what exists in your mind. You will live according to what exists in your mind.

REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
ποΈ Santa Clara Meditation guides practitioners to cleanse the false world within β to remove all illusions, judgments, and attachments that form the false mind.
When the mind becomes empty and pure, the true world of the Universe reveals itself inside. Then, one realizes that heaven and God are not distant places, but the living Truth within.
Such a person lives with true peace, wisdom, and eternal life β for when the True World exists in oneβs mind, there is no death, only everlasting existence. π
