🔎 Introduction
✨ In this contemplative teaching, Master Woo Myung explains the spiritual meaning of being “born on earth” versus being “born in heaven.”
Though all creation comes from heaven, human beings live as if separated from it because heaven does not exist within their minds. 🌿 To be born in heaven is not about physical location — it is about rebirth of the body and mind as the body and mind of heaven.
When one cleanses the self completely and becomes one with the universe, one lives in the Kingdom of Heaven that never dies.
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
One Who Is Born on Earth Lives on Earth, One Who Is Born in Heaven Lives in Heaven
The sounds of birds, the sounds of animals,
the sounds of the wind, the sounds of everything,
and the sounds of humans.
All are the sounds of heaven
and sound comes from the shape.
People have their own language,
and people have different regional languages.
Humans along with the whole of creation
come from heaven and live in heaven;
but because humans do not have heaven in their minds,
they live on earth.
One who is born on earth lives on earth.
One who is born in heaven lives in heaven.
One whose body and mind
are reborn as the body and mind of heaven
lives in heaven.
One who just has his own body and mind
lives on the earth.
When one cleanses his body and mind and that self is no more,
and when the universe becomes his self,
the universe is within him.
He lives in the kingdom of heaven.
One who has heaven lives in heaven;
this is the forever-living, never-dying kingdom.
Because it is the living soul and spirit of Truth,
it is everlasting and never-dying.
– Woo Myung
🌿 Reflect at Santa Clara Meditation
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners learn that heaven is not a distant place but a state of being. 🌠
When the false self is cleansed and the universe becomes one’s true self, heaven exists within.
To be born in heaven means to live as the living soul and spirit of Truth, free from death and separation.
