π‘ INTRODUCTION
Why do people struggle with others and with themselves?
According to Master Woo Myung, the root of all conflict lies in the negative mindβthe human mind that is self-centered, judgmental, and small. It only believes in what it knows and rejects anything unfamiliar.
βοΈ A negative mind cannot succeed, because it blocks possibilities and harbors resentment. It holds tightly to offense, anger, and ego.
π A positive mind, on the other hand, is open, accepting, and broad. It is the mind of the Universe, the mind of Godβfree from bias and opposition.
π¬ Even criticism leaves no scar when we fully accept what is said. But when we reject othersβ words and cling to our wounded pride, we are trapped in our own false mind forever.
π Master Woo Myung shows that by discarding negativity and embracing the mind of oneness, we can enter a world of laughter, peace, and truth. All people can live well when they change from a negative mind to a positive one.

From Negativity to Positivity
The human mind is a negative mind. It is a self-centered mind. It only knows and cares about itself so it is negative about anything that is outside of what it knows. Only things that exist within it are regarded as being correct; anything it does not know or have is thought to be wrong. The human mind is negative – it insists that only it is right and is not able to acknowledge and accept all things.
You cannot possibly succeed at a task if you believe that it cannot be done. However, if you have a positive mind-set and believe that it can be done, you will succeed. Even in the human world, a negative person cannot be successful. Such a person is where he is because he is small-minded. On the other hand, a positive person has a βbigβ mind – he is broad-minded.
If you are able to accept everything that is said about you, even when you are spoken of in a negative way, none of what is said will remain in your mind. However if you are unable to accept what is said and begin to think of the person who said them as your enemy, those words will remain in your mind. You will then have to carry the mind of non-acceptance eternally.
A person with a positive mind is one who does not possess his own individual mind. He is someone who has become the mind of the Universe. Everyone in the world believes that they are great – they are unable to accept and acknowledge others because they do not have the positive mind of God, the mind of the Universe.
From the worldβs point of view, the other countless things living in this true world are all living in their own way. They just live, and are able to accept everything without being concerned with this or that. The true world just lives without being biased towards any one side.
All people would have positive minds if they lived with the mind of the world that just exists. It would be the end of all conflict, and days of never-ending laughter would follow because the worldβs mind is the mind of oneness. Everyone will live well when all people change their negative minds to positive minds.
