INTRODUCTION
โจ In this profound writing, Master Woo Myung explains that while man believes he lives within time and history, time itself does not exist, and the world simply exists as it is. ๐ฟ Human suffering arises not from the world, but from the restless mind that seeks, grasps, and tries to bend the world to its own will.
Master Woo Myung teaches that man originally lived as one with the world, in harmony with universal order. ๐ However, the moment greed aroseโthe mind that tried to contain and control the worldโman betrayed natureโs flow and built a mind-made grave, mistaking it for life.
This writing calls us to awaken: to destroy the illusory world of the mind, come out into the real world, and live as the Soul of the world itselfโTruth without death, beyond time. ๐
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Come Out into the World
Man has lived through countless ages,
and within those innumerable ages,
there have been the stories and sufferings of many.
But then, as now, time does not exist,
and the world exists, just as it is, without response.
Only manโs mind was busy, wanting to achieve something,
and he suffered and was burdened, trying to fulfill his will.
He did not live in accordance with universal order,
and he was not able to live in harmony with the world.
Instead, he tried to make the world adapt to him,
so his was a life that betrayed natureโs flow.
Man originally lived as one with the world –
a life of universal order –
but from the moment he had the mind of greed,
the mind that contained the world within it,
he became a traitor of universal order.
Oh people, the world just exists as it is.
Heroes, stories, and all the other innumerable things man has made,
have followed the passage of time and disappeared,
but the world and the sky still just exist.
Just as the world just exists
while all that man has made and possessed have disappeared,
one who is born in the world,
will live with the Soul that has become one with Truth,
as long as the age of the world.
Even though man lives, he is not really living
for he has dug his own grave, that is his mind world.
From inside the grave, he constructs it ever more strongly,
continuously building and building.
Isnโt he therefore, dead?
From the viewpoint of the world,
both the grave and oneโs self inside the grave,
are non-existent illusions.
If your grave and self do not exist,
you can come out into the world,
and live as one with the world.
Then, time, that flows as water flows, does not exist
and you are the Soul of the world;
you are Truth, and without death.
Come out, into the world!
Everything that is yours is all useless illusions and hell,
so destroy the world of hell
and come out into the world.
โ Woo Myung
