INTRODUCTION
🪷 In this profound writing, Master Woo Myung teaches that the world we live in reflects the content of our minds.
Though there are seven billion people on Earth, no two minds are the same. Each person’s life is shaped by what they have “eaten” — the experiences, beliefs, and emotions stored within.
When one fills their mind with Truth, he lives the life of Truth. When one fills it with worldly attachments, he lives a false life bound by illusion.
To live eternally in heaven, we must cleanse the false mind and fill it with the blessings of Truth — this is how man truly lives according to what he has in his mind.
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Man Lives According to What He Has in His Mind
There are roughly seven billion people on this planet, but no two minds are alike.
The mind that one has is the following:
A person lives out his life according to his form and shape, and as he does so he “eats” or stores everything he sees, hears and feels, from his childhood with his parents to his surrounding environment, friends, kindergarten, elementary, middle and high school, college life and life in society.
The size of that cumulative mind is as big as his body – his shape and form. It is from within the boundaries of this mind that he judges right and wrong, good and evil, and discerns everything around him. All of these things are formed through the experiences of his life.
If he has lived with a certain kind of mind until the present, he will live with that delusional mind until the day he dies, and even after death.
Suppose a person studies law, information technology, or mechanical engineering. It is through the things he stores inside his mind that he will later eventually earn a living. His personality also shows what kind of things he has put inside his mind. The lives people live reflect what they have put inside their minds.
The education that we receive in schools is a worldly one, while cleansing one’s mind is the education to become Truth. If Truth exists within man, he will live a life of Truth because he is Truth. In the same way, if heaven exists within a person, he will live in heaven because he has heaven in him. Because people live to the extent of what they have in their minds, a person who amasses blessings in heaven will live forever in heaven with those blessings.
Jesus Christ told us that a foolish person amasses fortune on earth while a wise person amasses treasures in heaven. This means it is worthless to amass one’s fortune here on earth for his own sake – for the sake of his body or for his children – because this world is a dead world. For a person who amasses fortune in heaven, his fortune is his forever and he lives with as much as he has amassed. Each person who has been born as Truth has his own heaven, so each must make and amass his own blessings in that land.
Blessings should not be sought, but made and built. One lives in the eternal world with as much blessings as he has made and amassed. One lives eternally with as much blessings as he has in the land of Truth that is his mind.
