INTRODUCTION
๐ In this luminous teaching, Master Woo Myung reveals that God is called โLightโ because He is living Truth and wisdom itself. Light is not merely a symbol โ it is the original nature of man, the living, deathless consciousness that knows it is the master of existence.
โจ The Land of Light is the Kingdom of God, a realm of Life, Wisdom, and Truth, where there is no death, pain, or sorrow. It is the birthplace of all creation and the place where everything lives as animitta โ complete and whole as it is. According to Master Woo Myung, only one who becomes Truth itself can truly live in this Land of Light. ๐ฟ
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
The Land of Light
God is called โLightโ because He is Truth. He is called Light because He is living and because He has the knowledge that is wisdom. God is manโs original nature โ the original nature within him that knows he is alive and deathless and that it is the master. This is why God is called Light.
The Kingdom of God is the Land of Light. It is the living Kingdom, the Land of wisdom, the Land of Truth, the Land of Life, and the Land of Divinity. The Land of Light is that of the eternal and never-changing Truth and of God. There is no death in that place, and it is where all creations live as one without pain or sorrow. It is the birthplace of all life, and it is where the whole of creation is given life. It is the Land where everyone can rest well and just live as it is. Indeed, this Land of Light is where everything lives as animitta; this Land is, in itself, the completed state of animitta.
A person can live only if he is Truth; he can live only if he is God, who is Light. Only the eternal and never-changing God lives forever, but there is no one among humankind who is able to see the living God or His Kingdom. This is because man is not poor in spirit but is rich in falseness.
