🔎 Introduction
✨ In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung explains the true meaning of life and death, heaven and hell.
Across religions, the ultimate purpose is eternal life in heaven. 🌌 Yet heaven and hell are not distant places after physical death — they are conditions of consciousness.
According to this insight, those who become Truth — the Energy and Light of the Universe — live eternally, while those who remain in delusion live in illusion and spiritual death. Heaven exists here and now, but only those reborn as Truth can perceive and live in it.
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Life and Death (Heaven and Hell)
The ultimate purpose of all religions is to live forever and live in heaven. When we have bodies we live with the energy from the food we eat, but after our bodies pass away those who have the eternal and never-changing Truth within them will live because they are Truth and those who have delusions within them will die because their very selves are illusions. Namely, those who have delusions will die because they live in a false delusional world.
The true principle of the Creator who created the world is for existence to give birth to existence and save them in the land of Truth forever.
All of the many things in creation are already enlightened. This means that they are one with Truth and thus, they are alive. However, people are dead because of their selfish minds and attachments — they are dead because their consciousnesses are not one with Truth.
Life and death are actually one. This is because a person, whose consciousness has been enlightened of Truth that is the Creator, is himself Truth, and he lives because Truth is alive. However, a person whose delusions have become him is like a dream, an illusion — it is the illusion that lives, but an illusion is not truly alive or real so it is dead.
When we talk about going to heaven or hell, what heaven and hell truly mean is that a person who has returned to the infinite Creator of the Universe, to Truth itself, and has been reborn will live in heaven while a person who lives in delusions will be in hell.
Heaven is this world just as it is, but people do not have heaven inside their minds. Therefore, they are unable to see or know it.
Man speaks and lives exactly according to what he holds in his mind. His mind only contains what he has experienced, and he believes that these things are him. If he discards the body and mind of the false delusional entity that he calls himself and even the Universe, true Truth remains. It is only when Truth remains, and he becomes Truth, that he can know Truth.
Man must escape from his self, the delusional entity of attachments, and be reborn as the existence of Truth. Only then does heaven and eternal life exist for him.
There is a Korean saying, that one can know the afterworld only after he has died. This means that when one does not exist and he has returned to the Creator, he can know not only the principles of the world but also the oneness of life and death. Because man only knows what he has experienced, it is only when he has Truth inside him, that is, when he has become the viewpoint of the infinite Creator of the Universe, that he can know everything. And it is then that he can live because he is Truth.
Eternal life is to live as the Soul and Spirit, the existence of Truth. In other words, if one is born as the Energy and Light of the Universe itself, he is without death and he lives in the land of that Energy and Light. Such is what heaven is. When man’s consciousness transforms into the consciousness of Truth, he lives a true life because his consciousness is alive.
Even if his body disappears, his Soul and Spirit lives here in this land, the living land of Truth, forever. Anything that has not become the Energy and Light of the Universe is dead and lives in hell.
Heaven is not a place that one goes to after death. A person who goes to heaven while he is living is a person who lives forever.
The reason this meditation is causing a sensation around the world is because it has the scientific meditation method that allows one to eliminate his body and mind — his false mind — and go to the everlasting world while he is living by becoming reborn as Truth.

🌿 Reflect at Santa Clara Meditation
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners learn that life and death are not opposites but states of consciousness. 🌠
To live eternally is to become the Soul and Spirit, the Energy and Light of the Universe. Heaven is not reached after death — it is entered while living through rebirth as Truth.
When the false self dissolves, heaven exists here.
When consciousness becomes Truth, life becomes eternal.
