Many believe heaven is a place we go after death—but Master Woo Myung explains that only those who are reborn as Truth while alive can enter heaven.
Heaven is the world of complete Truth, not a place seen through illusion or belief.
Discarding the false mind and becoming the infinite Universe is the only path to eternal life.

📝 ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Only People Who Go to Heaven While Living Can Live in Heaven
People whose consciousness is alive will live, and those whose consciousness is dead will die.
Generally it is accepted that we will go to heaven or hell after death; but if we do not become Truth now, we already live in hell.
When we watch a movie, we become involved in it. We must follow the movie as it is written in the script. The way we live is identical in the sense that we live following the script written in our minds as if it were a movie. Just as the movie is not real, neither is the script in our minds. People live according to this false mind script not only while they are alive, but also after they die.
Just as an image on film cannot be seen until it is projected, a person’s mind is invisible until it is projected via their life and their shape. One’s shape and the way one lives are projections of one’s individual mind. People’s destinies are limited to their mind script. The life they have lived before now determines their shape now, and the way they live now determines their future shape.
One’s mind is equal to his shape. In his shape one stores the minds of what he sees, hears, and feels throughout his life. People have anguish and desires because they are controlled by the countless different minds they have. The human mind is thoughts, which is in fact anguish and desires. In Buddhism, this is called the mind of greed, anger, and ignorance, or the seven feelings and five desires.
We must pull out the root of this mind, which is the life one has lived. When that entire life has been discarded, that mind will disappear. The body and mind are not separate, but one. Even the shapes of the cells in our bodies are the same as our mind, because everything that is in our mind is embedded in every single cell of our bodies. This is why even after cleansing the mind we must cleanse our habits, which are stored in our cells. One’s mind is the life he has lived, which is karma. The body is where the mind dwells; one’s mind is his body itself. The body is one’s habits.
Karma and habits are the conceptions and behaviors of the mind; and when one discards them, he will see the place of Truth. One’s conceptions are the way he views things. One’s behaviors and habits are the embedded desires springing from what he has seen. People only know that which they have experienced in their lives. If one is asked to speak the language of Uzbekistan, which he has not learned, he will not be able to speak it; nor can anyone speak Malay if they have not learned it. People store their experiences in their minds and live as slaves to those minds, making discernments of right or wrong. They live only for themselves with their narrow self-centered minds consisting of what they have seen and felt. When this false world of hell is destroyed and removed, only the world of the Creator exists. This is heaven, the place of Truth.
Most people say heaven exists; some best-selling authors go so far as to say they have been to heaven. However, there is such a thing as the heaven of the false mind, the heaven of hell; it is a delusion. Even though one says that he can see heaven through the opening of his spiritual eyes, it does not necessarily mean that he himself can go to heaven. Such a heaven is not real but is a self-centered delusion.
Real heaven is the land of complete Truth. Only one who becomes complete Truth can see the real heaven with spiritual eyes. Rather than simply seeing heaven, the right way is knowing the real heaven with wisdom by being reborn as the body and mind of the universe, the Creator of the infinite universe.
One must be free of his individual conceptions and habits, and become the originally-existing Truth in order to go to heaven and the world of Truth. In the world of Truth, there is no individual and there is no whole. Each individual is the whole and the whole is the individual. This is the world where only Truth, which is one, exists.
When a person has his body, he lives by the energy from food and lives in his delusional mind. When he stops eating and his body dies, one with a delusional mind will completely die because that delusional mind is false. One’s past memories are his delusional mind, and he dies because that mind is false and not true. He will live in the false world, which is not true. The false world is the mind that each individual has; his mind is embedded even in his cells, and his body is false, not Truth. Therefore, he will live being endlessly reincarnated in the false world which is non-existent like a dream; he lives in this dream from which he can never awaken. This is hell.
When one’s mind is the mind of the infinite universe, he will be reborn as Truth, the eternal Energy and Light, the soul and spirit of the universe, and he no longer has death and will live forever. Only one who no longer has his individual mind, who is complete, lives in heaven. Heaven is not a place one goes to after death but the place people who are reborn and become Truth go to while alive. Heaven is not a place somebody, even a savior, can take people to after death. Only those who are reborn from their narrow, small, individual minds to the infinite, widest, biggest mind of the Creator can live in heaven. Only Truth can live in heaven; falseness cannot live in heaven. Those who become true while they are still alive can go to heaven. Those who have heaven while they are living can go there.
