💡 INTRODUCTION
Master Woo Myung recounts an insightful conversation with a clergyman, revealing that the labels we use for the ultimate reality—whether we call it God, Truth, or the Universe—are ultimately unimportant. What truly matters is our state of existence. God, or Truth, only genuinely exists for the “living”—those who have awakened from their illusions. For those still trapped inside the false, self-centered mind, the true reality remains out of reach.

📖 EXCERPT BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
I told him that this meditation was about repenting one’s sins and about eliminating oneself completely. […]
I told him that whether or not we call Truth God, the name is not important. I also told him that God is God only to the living – that the dead have no God. Truth is Truth to those who have become it, while there is no Truth for those who have yet to become Truth.
🌱 REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, we often see people fiercely debating the concepts, names, and definitions of the divine. Yet, as Master Woo Myung points out, these intellectual debates are meaningless if we are still living inside our illusionary minds. He refers to this state of being trapped in the false, human mind as being “dead.”
To truly know Truth, you cannot just study it or believe in a concept; you must become “living.” Through our step-by-step subtraction method, you actively eliminate the false self—the accumulated habits, karma, and illusions that block you from reality. As you completely empty this false existence, you are reborn into the real world. Only when you have awakened and become Truth itself does the ultimate reality, or God, truly exist for you.
