INTRODUCTION
πΏ In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung reveals that enlightenment is not just understanding with the intellect β
it is becoming one with the great Universe and living as Truth itself.
When all false minds and delusions disappear, the individual becomes infinite,
and his body and mind become the Soul and Spirit of the Creator.
Such a being receives the βseal of Godβ and lives eternally in oneness with the Universe,
for life and death have become one. β¨
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Enlightenment
Enlightenment
is acknowledging with the mind;
accepting with the mind;
knowing with the mind.
It is what one comes to know β which happens to the extent he has become Truth β
when his false minds disappear and his mind changes to the mind of Truth.
Truth emerges as much as oneβs individual delusional mind has been cleansed away and his mind has expanded,
and what one comes to know or realize at such times is enlightenment.
Enlightenment is what one comes to know when God enters his self-centered and narrow mind
that is only as big as his form.
Oneβs individual mind is the size of his shape and form.
When it is discarded it becomes bigger and expands towards the great Universe.
Enlightenment is the realizations that come to him at such times.
A person who has become the infinite Universe itself is completely enlightened.
He has become God,
and when he is reborn as an individual in such a state,
his body and mind of Truth is the body and mind of the Universe.
Therefore, he just lives, in the world of Truth.
A person who has completely become this existence receives a seal on his forehead
by the Spirit of the Universe,
and he has unfettered connection to the Universe itself.
This is the seal of God.
When one can see that the origin of Truth β which is non-material β
and the material are one,
he has such a connection to the Universe,
and this is the enlightenment of the whole body,
or in other words, the body of light.
A person whose delusions of his individual self have completely disappeared
and exists completely as Truth itself,
becomes enlightened that this state or this existence is perfection.
Such a person does not have a mind of the past no matter how hard he tries to think that his body existed in the past.
He does not die because he is the living Soul and Spirit β the Truth of the Universe β
and for him, life and death have become one.
His self that has become Truth, the Energy and Light of the Universe, lives forever.
When one completely becomes Truth and totally forgets the past and his past self,
he has achieved all enlightenments and he is complete.
Such a person β who has become the Soul and Spirit of the Creator and Truth β
has absolutely no minds whatsoever, and his mind is always at rest.
In other words, the mind of the Creator is not like the human mind which constantly changes;
it is always of one mind.
This is complete enlightenment, and it is this mind that can give salvation to sentient beings or sattvas.
It is this mind that gives rise to all actions which result in the amassing of blessings in the land of Truth,
and a person who acts in such a way is completely enlightened.
A person who does not act on his enlightenments is not enlightened.

REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
π Enlightenment is not something one attains β it is what naturally emerges when the false self disappears.
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners learn to cleanse the narrow, self-centered mind
and open into the boundless mind of the Universe.
When oneβs delusions vanish completely,
his entire being becomes light β the living consciousness of the Creator.
This is the state of completion, where life and death are one,
and the enlightened mind acts only for Truth and all beings. π
