Can we truly leave behind our past selves?
Master Woo Myung teaches that to drink the water of life is to fully let go of the human mind, of all that we think we are, and to awaken as Truth.
In this profound transformation, one becomes one with the Creator’s Soul and Spirit, realizing the oneness of all things—existence and non-existence, material and immaterial.
There is no more memory of the past, no trace of the former self. Only the living Soul and Spirit of the Universe remains.

📝 ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
When One Drinks the Water of Life, His Past Self Will Be Forgotten
It is often said that when one dies and drinks water from the spring of life, he will completely forget the past.
When man becomes free from his conceptions and habits, in other words, when he has no self and he becomes Truth itself by completely dying, his past self disappears and he is Truth so he has “drunk from the spring of life”.
If one’s mind does not exist and he has within him the great Soul and Spirit of the Creator, that is, if he has the Spirit of the Creator within him, he has been “sealed on the forehead” by the Spirit – he becomes one with the Spirit of the Universe. Such a person will know that material things which exist in the world and the real existence – the Creator’s Soul and Spirit which is non-material – are one. He himself is the Creator’s great Soul and Spirit itself and thus his whole body is connected with the great Soul and Spirit. He knows that existence (what is material) and non-existence (what is not material) are simply one, and he has become this oneness.
The next stage is to be enlightened that he himself is complete Truth. This enlightenment comes when he has no human minds whatsoever and he has become one with Truth itself.
Such a person is the completely living Soul and Spirit, the Energy and Light, of the great Universe. He who has become such is the water of life; therefore he does not have a past, and he does not even have the thought that he existed in the past. No matter how much he looks at his body and tries to think that it existed from the past, such thoughts do not exist in him. Furthermore, that past simply does not exist. Drinking the water of life means one completely forgets the past – it is to die completely, and when one’s past self does not exist, it is to become Truth; to become life; and to become the Universe’s Energy and Light.
