🔎 Introduction

In this profound reflection, Master Woo Myung explains what it truly means “to simply be.”

Only Truth exists as it is — without self-centered interpretation, without distortion, without attachment. 🌿

To live according to one’s own point of view is to live within the limitations of the self. But to become Truth is to live freely, accumulating blessings in the Land of Truth — the eternal Heaven.

ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG

To Live As It Is and to Simply Be

Only Truth can be as it is,
and only this Truth can simply be.
Such is the everlasting and living Truth.

Truth just exists as it is and simply lives.
He who has become Truth just exists as he is and simply lives.

This means that he who has become Truth
no longer lives according to his own self-centered point of view
but lives a life of Truth.

To simply live according to one’s own point of view means
to live a self-centered life of one’s demon.

To simply be as it is means
to live a life of Truth.

And he who has become this Truth —
the Truth that simply exists as it is —
accumulates his blessings in the Land of Truth
and lives doing the work of that Land
because he is Truth.

That one lives doing the work of Truth means
to simply live as he is.

One’s acts of Truth simply are as they are.

To simply be means the life of one who has become Truth —
who has become free.

And only Truth is as it is.

Thus for one to live the life of Truth means
for one to be as he is.

He who has become Truth is one who has been born into
the Land of Truth, which is Heaven,
and he wields the power of this Land that is his.

He amasses his blessings — his power —
in the Land wherein he will live on forever and ever,
in the Land of God and Buddha,
who are the everlasting and never-changing Truth.

His blessings will exist in that Land depending on
how many he has accumulated.

His power will exist in that Heaven depending on
how many blessings he has made.

Power is a thing one must make.

– Woo Myung

🌿 Reflect at Santa Clara Meditation

At Santa Clara Meditation, “simply being” does not mean passivity. 🌱

It means:

  • No self-centered interpretation
  • No attachment to personal perspective
  • Living aligned with Truth

When one becomes Truth, one no longer struggles to act correctly — actions flow naturally.

Blessings are accumulated not through desire, but through living as Truth.
Power is not taken — it is created through alignment with the Land of Truth.

To live as it is
is to live as Heaven itself.
