INTRODUCTION
✨ In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that Heaven and hell are not distant realms but states that exist here on earth, determined entirely by one’s mind. A person who has become one with the Creator and has the Universe within lives in the Land of Truth, which is Heaven. 🌿
On the other hand, one who is led by delusions lives in hell—a state of inner death, pain, and fixed judgments. Heaven is acceptance, wisdom, and freedom from life and death. Hell is the suffering that comes from the false mind. Through this writing, Master Woo Myung reveals the true nature of Heaven and hell and how they coexist as one depending on the state of one’s consciousness. 🌌
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
The Oneness of Heaven and Hell and Their Differences
Both Heaven and hell exist here on earth,
but some live in Heaven while others live in hell.
Man lives in Heaven
when he has the whole of this Universe inside him
and when his mind has become one with the Creator;
he will then have in him his self that is the Creator and Truth
and will thus have Heaven in him;
he will have become the whole of the Universe
and so this place here will be Heaven.
But man is in hell
when the delusions of his delusional mind live and act;
such is death.
His is one whose consciousness is dead;
he is a delusion that lives being led by delusions,
which is why he lives in hell.
Such are the differences between Heaven and hell.
Heaven and hell are one,
but the living live in the Land that is alive – the Land of Truth –
while the dead live in the maya of their delusions – in hell.
In their maya, the dead have their rights and wrongs
and their fixed ways of thinking,
which is why they live in pain – in hell.
Living in Heaven means accepting everything and knowing
that there is no life or death.
Heaven is the state in which Truth lives,
and it is where one lives with wisdom and without pain.
Wisdom is God.
– Woo Myung
