INTRODUCTION
โจ In this concise yet profound writing, Master Woo Myung explains the true nature of creation from both Godโs viewpoint and manโs viewpoint. ๐ฟ From God, all things come forth, and therefore everything that exists is Godโs creation. From the human perspective, creation appears through the harmony of Heaven and earth and the conditions of earth, water, fire, and wind.
Master Woo Myung teaches that these perspectives are not separate or contradictory. ๐ When seen from Godโs viewpoint, individuals and objects are not merely created by Godโthey are God. Thus, creation coming forth โof its own accordโ is true only when one understands that God and creation are one.
This writing reveals that all explanations of creation ultimately point to the same Truth: the oneness of God, nature, and all existence. ๐
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
The Creation of All Things
It is by God
that all things are created.
From God all things come forth,
which is why from Godโs viewpoint,
everything is His creation.
Everything is brought forth
by the harmony of Heaven and earth –
due to the conditions of earth, water, fire, and wind –
and from manโs viewpoint
this is how all things are created.
And for creation
to have come forth of its own accord
is accurate only
when we view individuals and objects
from Godโs viewpoint,
because from Godโs point of view,
individuals and objects are God.
Consequently,
all of the above statements
mean the same thing.
โ Woo Myung
