✨ Introduction
✨ In this profound writing, Master Woo Myung explains that enlightenment is the awakening of the true Mind, where one directly experiences the voice of God within.
🌿 He reveals that enlightenment is not intellectual understanding, but the expansion and awakening of consciousness, freed from sin and illusion.
🌌 As one’s mind becomes purified, one can hear and realize Truth more clearly, according to the degree of inner cleansing.
✨ This teaching shows that enlightenment is the result of true repentance, absolution, and complete liberation, leading to eternal life in Truth.
📖 Original Writing by Master Woo Myung
Enlightenment Is the Voice of God
Enlightenment is the awakening of the true Mind in man. Enlightenment means to gain insight through the awakening of one’s consciousness. It is when one hears a reply from the God inside oneself. Enlightenment occurs as man’s consciousness, or in other words his mind, expands. It is to gain insight in proportion to how high and wide one’s consciousness has become. Enlightenment is when one’s dead consciousness awakens. His consciousness, or mind, is dead because it has been shadowed by his own demons. However, when he is freed from those chains he will be able to hear God’s voice to the extent that God has been revealed to him. In other words, because his mind – his consciousness – is free, he will be able to hear God’s reply according to the degree to which he has been released from sin.
Depending on how much a person has cleansed his sins, the God inside him teaches him; furthermore, he is able to answer with his mouth depending on how much he has in his mind. This means that the mouth of his heart confesses depending on how close he has come to the Truth. Therefore, acceptance means for one’s true Mind to know, and it means to have as much as it knows.
So what is enlightenment? True prayer is true repentance of sin. And it is in proportion to how much a person has been redeemed that he is not only freed, but knows freedom. Therefore, because God is our Master, this God within answers us as much as we have been cleansed. This is enlightenment.
When a person has been completely absolved of his sins, he is an enlightened being, and thus he has neither curiosity nor any hindrances and lives in the greatest of freedoms. He is one that has entered into a state of being that is cut off from all things. He is one whose mind has been converted into the empty Mind that has existed before time itself, which is why he will never die. He is entirely the ever still and consistent God of the Universe. He is always this Mind and so he has no delusional thoughts. He has no mind of having everything, and yet he is rich for everything is his. For sure, a person who is rich is in want of nothing, has no delusions, and has achieved everything.
A person who will not die because he has become complete, a person for whom this earth is true Paradise while he is alive, a person for whom only the living God lives – such a person will live in God’s Kingdom even after his body dies. He who accumulates his blessings in Heaven while working for the deliverance of all human beings is a truly enlightened person. Everything he does would be a blessing that is accumulated in Heaven; for him, living in Heaven with these blessings for all eternity would no longer be a dream but a reality. In fact, his joys would be so great that they would seem unreal. Indeed, he who is completely enlightened works and lives in Heaven.
