INTRODUCTION
โจ In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that one can only know Truth to the extent that one has become Truth. People speak and act only from the level of their own consciousness, and unless the mind expands to become as wide, high, deep, and vast as the Universe, Truth cannot be known.
True enlightenment comes when the mind becomes the infinite Universe itself, returning to the original Body (Jung) and Mind (Shin) of the Universe. ๐
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
You Cannot Know Truth If You Have Never Become It
People think, speak, and act according to what they know.
As I teach people this meditation,
I see how a person who has undergone Level One
is only able to speak at that level;
I see how a person who has finished up to Level Two
is only able to speak at that level;
I see how a person who has finished up to Level Three
is only able to speak at that level.
Truth is the whole of this world
and so unless oneโs mind becomes the whole of this world,
one will never be able to know Truth.
One is only able to live and speak
depending on the level of oneโs consciousness.
Furthermore, one is able to become enlightened
when oneโs consciousness has expanded to become
as large as the world,
for one can be enlightened only in proportion to
how large oneโs consciousness has become.
The meditation of oneโs mind is
the meditation of the โJung (Body)โ and โShin (Mind)โ,
and those who are unable to meditate end up
remaining in that state and
talking about nothing more than their own delusions.
Unless their minds become the whole of the infinite Universe,
they will never know Truth.
Truth is existent,
not non-existent.
Truth is the original foundation,
and this original foundation does not exist.
But amidst its non-existence,
there is the Spirit.
This โnon-existenceโ pertains only to those
whose consciousnesses dwell within themselves.
Those who have returned to Truthโ
the Infinity that is
the most high, most low, most large, and most wideโ
will be able to see God, who is the one and only.
Because Truth exists,
the whole of creation is the representation of Truth
as well as Truth itself.
And only those who have become Truth are able to know Truth.

REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, the method guides practitioners to expand their consciousness beyond the limits of the self, allowing the mind to become the infinite Universe.
Only by cleansing the false mind and recovering the true Jung and Shin can one know Truthโnot as a concept, but as oneโs very existence.
Through this awakening, one becomes the Spirit, the infinite Energy and Light, returning to the original foundation where Truth exists eternally. ๐ฟ
