✨ INTRODUCTION
In “Mind III,” Master Woo Myung teaches that human life becomes futile when lived without knowing Truth. Because people live with the self, they are imprisoned within their flesh and unable to see the greater existence—the Mind, which is Heaven.
The Mind is non-existent yet exists; it is the silent master from which all creations arise. When people live unaware that existence is non-existence, they remain bound by attachments and blind to the Truth within.
Through wisdom and meditation, one can discard the self and awaken to the Mind that contains all things. This is the path to seeing beyond the temporary body and into eternal life. 🌿
đź“ś ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Mind III
Because man’s life is not eternal,
because he lives ignorant of what is right,
his is a futile life.
Life can be lived one way or another,
but everything in this world exists
because man’s self exists.
That his self exists means he has wants,
which are his attachments,
but every person in the world
lives without knowing this.
Heaven is silent,
yet it manages everything that is in the world.
The mind man comes to attain is due to
the course of his life,
or in other words, his environment.
One’s environment is none other than
one’s given condition.
What man does not know is that
because his self exists and he lives therein,
he is unable to see Truth.
Man lives not knowing that
man is the master of the world;
thus he lives imprisoned in his flesh.
He is imprisoned — he is self-imprisoned —
for his mind’s eye cannot see.
The mind’s eye has no shape.
The Mind is an existence that is of itself.
The countless creations that man differentiates
as being this or that
are all the Mind.
The Mind is non-existent, yet it exists.
Man lives not knowing that existence is non-existence.
The countless stories of man’s passing life
are also the doings of the Mind, which is Heaven.
The Mind is the master,
which is why countless things are able to be born.
The Mind never existed,
yet it has and collects
the numerous different things of this world.
The image of one consists, in detail,
of the one and only God.
— Woo Myung
🌱 REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
People live confined by their self-made stories—attachments, habits, and desires. Because of this, the mind’s eye cannot see, and Truth remains hidden. Meditation provides the means to discard this self and awaken to the Mind that is Heaven.
By realizing that existence is non-existence, one sees that everything arises from the Mind, and the Mind contains all. When the self disappears, the true master—Truth—remains, and one discovers that the Mind and Heaven are not separate.
This is the beginning of true freedom.
