INTRODUCTION
β¨ In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that fate is not something predetermined by an external forceβit is the life accumulated through oneβs own lived experiences. Like a movie created by oneself, fate continues to play out unless one steps out of the film altogether. Only by escaping this self-made world can a person discover true freedom and the eternal, unchanging life of completion. πΏ
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Fate
Fate is both the cause, which is the life one has lived, as well as its resultant effects. The life of a forty-year-old man is like a movie he has made that spans those forty years, in which the producer of this movie is himself, the main character is himself, the audience is himself, and the only person capable of eliminating this movie is also himself. This manβs fate is the life he has lead for forty years, and it is his fate to continue living the same way he has lived. But one can live a true life of freedom, not to mention an eternal, never-changing life of completion, only when one steps out of that movie.

REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners learn how to step out of the βmovieβ of their accumulated life. By discarding the false mind that creates fate, one enters the true world, where real freedom and eternal completion exist. This is how one escapes destiny and lives as the Universe itself. π
