INTRODUCTION
β¨ In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that eternal life and heaven must already exist within oneself while living, not after death. People cling to the limits of their knowledge, experiences, and religious conceptions, unable to see beyond their own frameworks. Only by becoming Truth while alive can one truly know Heaven, live in Heaven, and enter eternal life. This message reveals that Heaven is not a future promiseβit must be a present reality awakened through Truth. π
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Eternal Life and Heaven Must Be a Reality, One Who Is Not Complete. Now, One Who Does Not Have Heaven and Eternal Life Now. Cannot Go to Heaven After He Dies Because He Does Not Have Heaven
Humans do not have wisdom because they do not know anything except what they have experienced and have learned throughout their lives. For example, Christians and Buddhists only know what they have learned and heard from their respective religions; so they would know nothing about Hinduism.
Each person builds self-centered conceptions for his own convenience, these conceptions become his self and he thinks that only he is right. When something fits peopleβs conceptions, they believe it is right; while if it does not, then wrong.
This is very apparent when it comes to religion. People accept only what is consistent with their own religious beliefs and judge others as being wrong. Some denominations have been labeled heresies or cults even within the same religion. Two thousand years ago, when Jesus said, βI am the Son of God,β people argued over this. The Jewish people claimed that he was a heretic, a son of a carpenter, not the Son of God, because he looked like them. The Bible says people look at the outward shape, but Jehovah sees what is inside. There is also a saying that Truth can only be recognized by Truth. Likewise, there is no one who can see and know the mind that is within humans. The Jewish people did not recognize the Son of God within Jesus then, nor do they now. Similarly, there is no one who will be able to recognize the coming of a person who has Truth within. The Jewish people are still waiting for a fantasized Messiah of their own conceptions because they are bound to the Old Testament, and such a Messiah will never ever come.
If todayβs Christians wait for the coming of Jesus Christ of the New Testament, as the Jewish people have waited for the fantasized Messiah in their conceptions, they will not know even if the new world, the time of Truth, comes. They will be no different from the Jewish people.
The ultimate purpose of each religion is to live after death, in heaven forever. However, people cannot go to heaven while they are alive because they do not have a practical method. Christians believe that a savior will take them to heaven; Buddhists believe heaven will be fulfilled when the Buddha comes; and old Korean prophecies speak of Jung-dΕ-ryung, a man of Truth, who will someday come. However, people will be unable to see or hear even if a savior, Buddha, or a man of Truth comes because they are trapped in their conceptual frame of mind.
Only when the person is Truth who speaks the method of becoming Truth can that person make others become Truth. To be saved is becoming Truth; resurrection means to be reborn as Truth.
One must become the real Truth while alive. Heaven is the real world, and only when it exists can one live in heaven. A person who is not real while alive and does not have the real kingdom cannot go to heaven, which is the real world. If you do not become Truth, you will never know this.
You must have heaven while you are alive, and your body and mind must be reborn as the body and mind of Truth. If not, there will be no heaven where there is eternal life without death.
