💡 INTRODUCTION
Master Woo Myung contrasts the empty, unattached “Mind of Heaven” with the grasping, desire-driven human mind. He reveals that while we live consumed by our endless wants and the illusion that there is always something more to gain, true enlightenment (dō) is simply awakening to the fact that all these human desires and attachments are ultimately false.

📖 EXCERPT BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
“The Mind of Heaven is like a floating cloud. Man’s mind is one in which he exists. Thus the countless matters of this world are all one’s own. Heaven’s will does not exist, but amidst this, all creations and matters exist. Thus, its non-existence is preparation for existence; Heaven’s will is the place of non-existence. There is nothing to have in this world, but man lives thinking there is something to gain; though there is nothing for him, man lives lost in his wants. Such is life. That man lives means his life exists. Human life is one that is lived in his wants, with his wants. Knowing that all such things are false is ‘dō (Truth).’”
🌱 REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, we often see people exhausted by the endless pursuit of gaining more. Driven by our self-centered human minds, we constantly chase after status, material possessions, and personal achievements, convinced that acquiring these things will finally bring us lasting peace. As Master Woo Myung observes, man “lives lost in his wants,” deeply attached to a false mind world where he believes there is always something to gain. This continuous, desperate grasping creates a life of heavy burdens and inevitable disappointment.
The “Mind of Heaven,” however, is completely empty, like a floating cloud, and entirely free from these exhausting desires. Through our step-by-step subtraction method, you are provided with a direct, practical way to awaken from this cycle of wanting. By systematically discarding your accumulated attachments, the endless desires for more, and the false ego that constantly drives them, the heavy human mind completely vanishes. As you empty yourself, you naturally uncover the Mind of Heaven—a pure state of non-existence that is already perfectly complete. In this awakened state of Truth, you realize that those self-centered wants were merely illusions, allowing you to finally live in profound peace, completely free from the endless chase.
