๐ Introduction
๐ In this powerful teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that becoming Truth is not about belief aloneโit requires transformation. One of the clearest signs of this transformation is the ability to love oneโs enemies.
According to Master Woo Myung, as long as a person lives within a self-centered and attachment-filled mind, he cannot see or become God. Only when one completely discards the false mind and is reborn as the Body (Jung) and Mind (Shin) of the Creator can he live as Truth.
โจ To love oneโs enemies is not human strengthโit is the nature of God dwelling within.
๐๏ธ Original Writing by Master Woo Myung
You Must Love Your Enemies in Order to Be Truth
People from all walks of religion attend my seminars. I tell them that the Truth of the Universe is the Creator, who is the Universe that is before and beyond the universe; that this Truth is the only Truth there is and that it is alive. I say to them that this Truth is eternal and unchanging, and that only it is Truth. I tell them that the infinite Universe which is before and beyond the universe is Truth and that it is the biggest, widest, highest, and lowest existence in the world.
I tell people that this Truth cannot be seen by the eyes of man and that man cannot become this Truth because of his original sin and personal sins. Man is far from Truth because all he knows is his own self-centeredness; because his narrow, attachment-filled mind is only as big as his image. Oneโs shape is oneโs own image, and each of us acts according to his own image. Every creation acts and lives according to its image; man is the same.
I tell people that God does not dwell in manโs delusional, attachment-filled mind. In order to see and become God, one must completely throw away all the sins of his false delusions. It is only when one throws away his own false mind and false body and is born again as the โJung (Body)โ and โShin (Mind)โ of the Creator, who is Truth, that one can see and become God. Furthermore, one must throw away his attachment-filled mind which he has lived with up until now and transform into the Body and Mind of the Creator. Jesus is said to have given up his most cherished life for us. I tell people that, just as Jesus, he who dies for the Truth will be born as a child of God.
He who has fully repented for all of his sins has God and Buddha inside him. Once he has done so, only God resides in him and so he is able to keep his left hand ignorant of what his right hand is doing, just as Jesus said. Also, he is able to turn his right cheek when his left cheek is struck. I tell them that just as we are told to love our enemies, only when we are able to actually do so are we the children of God; only then will we live eternally, born into Heaven. When I ask whether they can truly love their enemies, the look on peopleโs faces say they are unable to. I tell people that only God can love the enemies. I tell them that when God dwells within you, that is when you are able to love your enemies.
I tell people that it is only natural that they cannot understand the Word of the Creator, for whom there is none greater, because they cannot understand His Word with their false minds which are only as big as themselves. The Land to where one crosses over after one dies is the Land of eternal life and Heaven.

๐ Reflect at Santa Clara Meditation
At Santa Clara Meditation, loving oneโs enemies is not taught as moral effortโit is the result of transformation. ๐ฟ
When the false self disappears and one is reborn as the Body and Mind of the Creator, only God remains within. From that state, love flows naturallyโeven toward enemies.
To become Truth is to transcend self-centeredness.
To love oneโs enemies is to live as God.
