🌟 INTRODUCTION
✨ What is life beyond the limits of life itself? 🌿
In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that the one who has been reborn into Heaven
no longer lives within the boundaries of earthly existence,
but as the oneness of all creation — a being who has recovered the Jung (Body) and Shin (Mind) of Truth.
Man lives bound to appearances, deceived by what his eyes can see.
But Truth is not seen — it is realized.
When the self disappears, life remains, yet one lives outside of life,
in the eternal flow of cause and effect that is Nature’s law. 🌏
📜 ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
A Life That Is Outside of Life
A person who has been born in Heaven.
To a person whose earth-bound consciousness has been
reborn into that of Heaven,
all creations are one.
So he lives in Heaven – in Paradise – as one.
This “one” will return to the perfect Truth in which
there is no distinction between people
and will live;
this “one” will live having recovered
the ‘Jung (Body)’ and ‘Shin (Mind)’.
Man lives seeing only outer appearances
and being deceived by them;
he cannot see their Truth.
He cannot see this Truth with his eyes.
Because he thinks appearances exist,
to him, humans seem like humans,
and pigs seem like pigs.
Truth exists among people,
and the one who sees, knows, and has it
is a truly blessed person.
Man’s regret is that he harbors his self
and so he does not know the true Mind.
All creations that flow, depart, or exist
are all Truth.
To flow, to depart, and to exist
are all things that man creates.
Man creates sorrow, anger, love, and happiness
because he himself exists.
Man creates all images because his self exists.
Man creates his mind because his self exists.
If his self were to die,
man would live life but would not be in it;
he would simply live as it is.
Everything is cause and effect.
Everything is of its own accord.
Natural cause and effect is the flow of Nature.
– Woo Myung
🌠 REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners come to realize what it means to truly live outside of life. 🌿
When the self disappears, there is no longer a “me” that experiences joy, sorrow, or possession.
There is only the flow of Truth, the cause and effect of Nature,
and in that state, one lives but is not in life.
It is not the end of existence — it is perfect harmony.
To live outside of life is to live as Truth itself:
unchanging, pure, and free of self. 🌼
