INTRODUCTION
β¨ In this uncompromising writing, Master Woo Myung clarifies the absolute distinction between Truth and falseness, what is real and what is not. πΏ He explains that man does not know what is real because within his mind exist only copied images, habits, and conceptionsβnot the real world itself.
Master Woo Myung teaches that the world is real, but man is false, and that only by completely discarding the false self can one become real and complete. π Faith, belief, or religious practice without becoming real is still falseness, and paradise or eternal heaven cannot be reached after death if one has not become Truth while living.
This writing emphasizes that human completion is possible now, not only for saints of the past. π When the incomplete being is entirely destroyed, Truth remainsβand from Truth, one is reborn as a complete and real human being.
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
If It Is Not Truth and Real, It Is False
No one, among men, knows what is real or what is false.
No one, among men, knows Truth or falseness.
Only when man becomes real and complete,
is he actually real.
What is real is the world,
and what is false is man.
Man has copied the world, and what belongs to the world,
and in his mind, he possessed the world and the things of the world,
and he lives making his conceptions and habits.
Thus, he is a treacherous sinner who has sinned against the world, the Creator.
Man who has conceptions and habits in his mind,
does not have anything real within him,
so he does not know what is real.
From the perspective of the world that is real,
everyone in the world is not complete,
so they are false.
The method to become real,
is to completely discard the conceptions and habits
of man who is false.
If man does not become real,
he is completely false.
If you are practicing a faith or attending a place
but you have not become complete and real,
it is false.
There is nothing real in the world man lives in,
and a real person does not exist.
A person who has eliminated the false world and his false self,
is reborn in the world that is real, and becomes real.
That is, he achieves human completion.
If one has not become Truth and real now,
isnβt everything all false?
Paradise and eternal heaven
is a place where only one who has become complete,
he who has become real, can go.
To say that you will go to heaven after death
makes no sense.
It is only when you are real while you are living,
that you can go to the land that is real.
You must be Truth to go to the land of Truth,
for what is false does not exist.
In the past, people could only walk or run
but now, there are cars and planes –
Similarly, people think human completion
is something that can only be done by saints,
like Jesus, Shakyamuni or Mohammed,
but just as there are now cars and planes,
wonβt there be a point in time when man can become complete?
An incomplete being is always incomplete
even if it tries to become complete,
but when the incomplete being is completely destroyed
Truth remains.
When you are reborn from Truth,
you will become complete.

REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners are guided to discard the false self made of habits and conceptions. π Through meditation, one becomes real while living, awakens as Truth, and achieves true human completion beyond belief or doctrine.
