π INTRODUCTION
β¨ In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that Truth is not something that can be understood through learning or belief, but only when oneβs mind becomes as vast as the Universe itself. π
He reveals that people cannot know Truth because they do not have it within their minds, and that only when the self disappears and one is reborn as the body and mind of Truth can he truly see, know, and become Truth. πΏ
This message shows that salvation and awakening are not about adding Truth to oneself, but about becoming Truth itself. π
π ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
The Method to See, Know, and Become the Existence of Truth
Truth is the soul and spirit of the great universe, which is the sky before the sky; it has existed before eternity and will exist after eternity; it existed before the beginning and exists after the end, after eternity.
The Bible says God created humans in his own shape. The shape of God, the original existence, is the soul and spirit, which is the sky before the sky where the one God exists in the place where nothing exists. This existence, which is Truth, cannot be seen and known by people. They do not know what they do not have, and they only have in their minds what they have learned and experienced. They do not know God, Truth, because they do not have God in their minds, which are the size of their own shapes, their narrow and selfish bodies.
For people to know Truth, they must have it in their minds; they cannot know Truth because they do not have it within their minds.
When oneβs mind is reborn as wide, as high, as low, and as big as the universe, he will have Truth within his mind; without fail he will clearly know the existence of Truth. When oneβs mind becomes one with the existence of Truth through the absolution of his sins, his mind has the shape of God.
When the mind and body of the existence called βselfβ disappears and when one is reborn as the body and mind of Truth, he himself becomes Truth itself. He can see and know with his mind since he has Truth within his mind. He will know everything because he is a child of God, and a child of God is Truth.
When people offer up all of their self to Truth, they will live because only Truth remains. However, one who has his self and tries to put Truth in his self will never obtain Truth, no matter how long he tries. Only a person whose body and mind has truly died and who has been reborn as the body and mind of Truth, will live forever. A person who has been to Manhattan knows about Manhattan. Likewise, only one who has Truth in his mind can see, know, and become Truth.
– Woo Myung
π REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners are guided to understand that Truth cannot be learned or believed into existence. πΏ Through meditation, they learn to dissolve the false self and allow their minds to become as vast as the Universe itself, exactly as taught by Master Woo Myung.
