š INTRODUCTION
āØ In this profound writing, Master Woo Myung explains that human suffering arises from attachment to self-created images ā the āthought-massā accumulated from oneās life, habits, and karma. These images form the false self, causing confusion and turmoil.
Nature, however, lives effortlessly ā silent, unattached, and always in harmony with the flow of the Universe. To live a true life, one must discard these false images and recover the true Body and Mind (Jung and Shin), becoming one with Truth. šæ
When one follows natureās flow, life becomes simple, unhindered, and free ā absent of conflict, desire, and self-centered illusions. This is the life of non-existence, where one just exists as one is, without attachments. šŗ
š ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Life of Natureās Flow
The attachments one has in his mind are
the root of his thoughts.
Thoughts can also be called a āthought-mass,ā
which is the body of images one has in his mind
due to the existence of his individual self.
Those images are what confuse man uselessly;
they begin in the thoughts that man has in his mind
and then are directly manifested in his deeds
without even thinking.
Deeds are no different from thoughts,
but since his thoughts precede his deeds,
Man falls into utter distress.
Humans must live in a humanly manner
in order to be human,
but if man lives a life that is full of turmoil,
then he is living a life that is not true.
Writings are the representations of the mind,
and my writings are my message.
But people have yet to understand its meaning
due to the images they have in their minds.
The countless people of this world
each have their own images
from which they are unable to escape.
Images belong to man;
images are futile.
Everyone must recover the Jung and Shin ā
the true Body and Mind ā
know the one Truth,
and thus wake up from their delusions.
The affairs of the Universe all follow the flow of nature,
but man creates klesha after klesha
and performs deeds that stem from his karma.
The Universe always follows natureās flow,
but due to his life,
man lives creating habits and karma ā
karma from which he cannot escape;
this is why humans are the most foolish.
No matter what,
nature alone remains silent.
Nature follows its flow without a word,
while only humans live creating kleshas.
They do so because of the self-inflicted turmoil
caused by the false deeds and habits
that they have acquired from life.
Thus it is none other than man himself,
who is the champion of creating
his own sense of self-image
and thus hinders his own salvation.
Flora and fauna just live and die by the flow of nature,
but man is the only existence that creates images
which are what shackle him.
It is when man realizes that the image is not an image
that he will be able to live a true life;
that this procession called life will be one which is lived
following natureās flow.
A life that is of natureās flow is an unhindered life;
it is not a life of kleshas
but one that is lived without being lived in;
it is a life without falseness but a life of oneness;
it is a life absent of attachments;
it is the non-existent life.
Thus you must live a life
that is not about eating well or living well,
but one that follows the flow of nature.
The flow of nature is the universal order;
it is the logic of the Universe;
it is the act of existing as you are without attachments.
ā Woo Myung
š REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners learn to empty their minds of the images, karma, and habits that form the false self. š
As these illusions are discarded, one awakens to the true Body and Mind (Jung and Shin) and lives harmoniously with natureās flow. In this state, life becomes effortless ā free from self-created turmoil and attachment.
Nature has no images, no desires, no inner conflict ā it just exists. When we live like nature, without clinging to the self, we return to the pure flow of the Universe, which is Truth itself. šŗ
