💡 INTRODUCTION
What does it truly mean when it is said, “Only I am great in all of heaven and earth”?
At first glance, it may sound like arrogance—but Master Woo Myung clarifies that this phrase reveals the deepest truth of existence.
🌌 This statement refers not to the individual ego, but to the state in which the false self has disappeared and only the Universe—which is the original self—remains. When there is no “I” that asserts itself, one becomes one with Truth, and only the Universe, which is the original self, is great.
It is the realization that you are not a person living on Earth, but existence itself, beyond name and form. To live in this state is to dwell not in the human world, but in the place of Truth, free from identity, ego, or distinction.

📝 ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
What Is the Meaning of the Phrase, “Only I Am Great in All of Heaven and Earth”?
The phrase, “Only I am great in all of heaven and earth”,
is speaking of the state when one does not dwell as a man
even as he lives as a man,
and when he does not dwell on earth
even while he lives on earth;
it is speaking of when one exists in the place of Truth,
the Universe,
where neither man nor earth exists.
This and that exist only when one’s self exists;
when one does not exist, neither does this nor that.
One’s original self is the Universe,
and because this Universe is one’s self,
the phrase means that only the Universe alone is great.
Man cannot become one with this Universe that is his original self,
because he has a self which he continuously asserts.
He must eliminate this self
if he is to become one with the Universe
and become the state where
“Only I am great in all of heaven and earth”.
When he does so,
he who is the Universe both before he was born and after,
is a great existence.
This is the meaning behind this phrase.
– Woo Myung
