๐ก INTRODUCTION
What is the true mind? ๐ฟ
According to Master Woo Myung, there are two kinds of minds: the original mind, which is the Universe, and the human mind, which is made of thoughts created by the struggle to survive. This human mind, bound by greed and self, causes suffering and prevents us from returning to the origin.
โจ The teaching of Master Woo Myung shows that only by casting off remembered thoughts and letting go of the self can we live as the true mind, which is eternal vitality. Through this practice, we transcend the illusions of life and death and return to the Truth.

๐ ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Mind
There is the original mind
and the human mind.
The original mind is the Universe,
and the human mind is thoughts.
The human mind is created because
oneโs struggle to survive creates thoughts,
which form a self.
Manโs mind was originally the mind of the Universe,
but greed, from the human mind, came to exist
because of his life.
His human mind created his self.
However, the human mind is also
the mind of the Universe.
The human mind is a thought mass,
whereas the mind of the Universe is vitality.
The human mind is a self that exists
within the mind of the Universe that is vitality.
If man is to return to the place from whence he came,
he must eliminate his mind.
His mind was formed and set
through the life he has lived.
Eliminating this,
is to cast off all remembered thoughts.
If he does not cast this off, he lives within himself
and in suffering, and even in death he bears burdens.
Oneโs human mind and oneโs thoughts
refer to the same thing,
but because man does not know this,
he is not able to achieve Truth.
Man was made unable to return
to the origin by the Universe
because even though he is originally the Universe
he makes thoughts
and tears them down.
When a person is created,
he is born with a mind of a human-being,
and when an animal is made,
it is born with the mind of an animal.
Man and all creations have the same heart of the origin.
Their forms are not things that exist,
yet they are not non-existent either.
There is a truly existing real existence –
all creations and their minds are all mind.
The original mind is not separate
from manโs mind and the minds of all creations
but ego or self
is different from the original mind,
because of greed.
Only when one sheds his greed, is he complete.
