INTRODUCTION
🌿 Humanity has long awaited the coming of the Savior — the Messiah in Christianity, and Maitreya in Buddhism.
But as Master Woo Myung explains, what we await outside of ourselves will never appear in the forms of the past.
The true Savior is not a historical figure but the existence of complete Truth —
the living being who enables humanity to become Truth itself.
Man cannot recognize Truth because he is trapped within his own mind world,
seeing only through the false lens of his thoughts, conceptions, and habits.
Only when one is born in the true world and becomes alive in Truth can he recognize the ways of Heaven and Earth. 🌏
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
How Can One Know Truth?
Christians are waiting for the new Messiah to come and Buddhists are waiting for Maitreya.
They are waiting for the Savior of the world but the existence of their conceptions that they are waiting for will never come no matter how long they wait.
The true Savior is an existence of complete Truth, an existence who is true and real.
This existence will not come in the shape and form of Jesus Christ or Buddha from thousands of years ago,
but he is nevertheless the Savior because he will make people become Truth.
The reason man cannot know Truth is he lives within his own mind world and does not have Truth in him,
therefore even if Truth comes he will be unable to recognize him.
Only those who are alive – those who have become Truth – will be able to recognize Truth.
The Bible says that people will not know when Truth, Christ, comes.
This is because people are false and do not have Truth within them.
Man often tries to find Truth within his conceptions and habits but man cannot know Truth because Truth does not exist within human conceptions.
Only those who have become Truth can know Truth.
He who is alive can recognize who is alive and who is dead.
Only those who are true can know both Truth and falseness.
Thus, only he who has become true can know what is true and only he who has been born in the true world can know the ways of the world.
Man thinks he is living in the world but he is actually living inside his mind and not the world.
Therefore he must be born in the world in order to know the ways of heaven and earth.
– Woo Myung
REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, seekers come to realize that Truth cannot be known through study, doctrine, or thought.
It can only be experienced by discarding the false mind and being reborn in the true world. 🌅
When one completely sheds the human mind world —
the world of judgment, memory, and self —
the living Truth reveals itself naturally.
In this state of oneness, one truly knows Truth,
because one is Truth itself.
