What is the real meaning of sin?
According to Master Woo Myung, sin is not about wrongdoing—it is about being trapped in illusion and identifying with the false self. True freedom comes when we are free of all conceptions, habits, and even the self, returning to the Soul and Spirit of the Universe.

Only those who become Truth can escape the false world and live in the origin that exists beyond form.

📝 ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG

Man’s Sin
Man’s sin is dwelling in an illusion. He who is within human conceptions and habits has sins but he who is free from everything does not have any sins. The place free from sins and karma is the place of dō. It is a place of Truth that is free from everything in the human world. The place of Truth is a place where one has discarded all of his conceptions and habits, the place where even one’s self does not exist. It is a place free from absolutely everything – a place of freedom, deliverance and liberation.
The real metaphysical entity of the Creator is the Soul and Spirit of the Universe – the origin. The place before all creations of heaven and earth were created is the Universe’s Soul and Spirit that is without form. Although this place has no form, it is an existence that is alive. Everything in heaven and earth came from this place and returns to it. This existence is the Universe itself, it exists of and by itself and it is an existence that just exists. Although this existence does not have shape or form, it is alive and it is the source and the Creator of all things in heaven and earth. Just as you can only know what New York is like when you have been to New York, only those who have become this existence itself can know this existence.
The place where there is absolutely nothing is the Universe’s body and amidst the nothingness, the one God exists. This existence is the Soul and Spirit of the Universe. This Soul and Spirit where there is nothing is called Buddha, God and Allah in each respective religion. The Soul and Spirit is called Dharmakaya and Sambhogakaya; it is also called the Holy Spirit and Holy Father and this place is the source and Creator of all things. All of heaven and earth’s creation came from this place, and are representations of this place. Everything is born from certain conditions and lives according to certain conditions. This is the law of cause and effect. It is the law of nature that when there is a cause a result follows.
The world and everything that happened in the world had been taken as pictures in my mind. I had lived in an illusion, a picture. I mistakenly believed that I lived in the world because my mind had overlapped the world.
