INTRODUCTION
β¨ In this teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that Truth is exactly as it appears, and everything in the world already exists according to the unchanging logic of the universe. People often misunderstand Heaven, eternal life, and spiritual awakening through human-centered imaginings, but the Truth is simple: what we see and what we hear is already Truth as it is. πΏ
Through proper understanding, one awakens from illusion and learns to see the world exactly as it existsβfree from fantasy, delusion, and false hope. π
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Everything We Hear Exists Just As It Is, and Everything We See Is Truth Just As It Is
People think that when the Kingdom of God is at hand, only those who believe in God in the way they see fit will be allowed to live in Heaven. They think that when that day comes, they will prosper; they think that when they become one with God, they will even be able to fly here and there. However, everything is Truth just as you see it and just as it is, and that is the unchanging logic of the universe. Therefore, man cannot fly, for he has no wings, just as it is the Truth that a dog, cow, or horse is incapable of flight because they, too, have no wings.
It is Truth that man is unable to live eternally with his human body, just as it is Truth that a dead person cannot arrive in a cloud, for which if they did, it would not be Truth. It was said that the Jesus Christ who went to Heaven would arrive in a cloud, but in all actuality, the βcloudβ is symbolic of the human body; thus, βto arrive in a cloudβ means that a being will appear in body. Furthermore, it was also said that Jesus would come from among us. However, those who believe in their own delusions will die eternally. Those who believe that they will live eternally with their bodies need to come to their senses.
Everything in this world is born of condition, exists due to condition, and dies because of the condition of longevity, as is the case with human beings whose lifespans are determined by the limit of the amount of cells that can be reproduced by their bodies.
Thus, what we see and what we hear is Truth just as it is.

REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners learn to let go of delusions and personal interpretations of Heaven and God. By discarding the false mind, one awakens to Truth just as it is, seeing the world exactly as the Universe created itβwithout distortion, fantasy, or self-made expectations. This is the foundation of living in the true world. π
