📖 Introduction
🌠 In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that the origin of the infinite Universe is not matter, form, or thought—it is Energy and Light, which are Truth itself.
According to Master Woo Myung, this eternal existence is the Soul and Spirit of the Universe. It has no death, no beginning, and no end. All creations arise from it, and from the viewpoint of the Creator, the world is already complete and enlightened.
✨ Yet for man to truly live, he must be reborn as this Energy and Light of Truth. Without becoming one with this origin, eternal life cannot exist.
🕊️ Original Writing by Master Woo Myung
The Origin of the Infinite Universe Is the Energy and Light Which Are Truth, and It Is This Energy and Light That You Must Be Reborn as in Order to Live
In this universe,
there is an eternal and never-dying existence.
This existence is the Energy of the Universe —
or in other words, the emptiness of the Universe —
and the Light that is the ‘Shin (Mind)’ of the Universe.
The emptiness and the Shin are one.
The reason why creations come forth into this world is that
from the viewpoint of the Creator of the infinite Universe,
the Universe is alive
and all existent creations are simply the Creator of the Universe.
From God’s point of view, or the infinite Universe’s point of view,
the whole of creation is already enlightened and alive.
It is when the living Land is one with
the Light of the infinite Universe
that one is able to eternally live in that Land.
The individual and the Whole are the origin,
which is the Energy and Light,
and so they just live as they are.
That they live as they are means they have become
the eternal and unchanging Creator of the Universe,
who is the Energy and Light, as well as being Truth itself.
For unless they become this Truth, they will have no eternal life.
There is no death in the Kingdom of Heaven —
the Land of Energy and Light, which is the Land of Truth.
But only a person
for whom his individual self has become the Whole,
who is no longer present in
the conceptions and habits of his individual self,
and who has become one with Truth
is able to know this.
The Universe has always existed and has always been complete.
The Universe is alive, but to know this
one’s mind must become as big as the Universe —
it must become this Universe, itself —
because the real Truth cannot be seen by man
nor can he become it.
Man can only know as much as he has.
Man can only speak as much as he has.
Only a person who has been to Jeju Island can know it.
No matter how much one may
repeatedly talk or hear about Jeju Island,
if he has never been there, it is not his.
When one throws away his narrow mind
and becomes the greatest Mind — the Mind of the Creator —
he is able to know everything in this world.
The living Creator has already completed the world,
so it is up to man and only man to repent
and enter this Land.
Man is a sinner,
so for him to completely eliminate that sinner
would be man’s atonement;
this would be repentance.
One will know everything when one no longer exists
and has completely died.
One will know everything when he has become Truth.
— Woo Myung
🌠 Reflect at Santa Clara Meditation
At Santa Clara Meditation, the goal is not intellectual understanding but transformation. 🌿
To know the Universe is not to think about it—it is to become it. When the narrow individual self is discarded and one is reborn as the Energy and Light of Truth, eternal life becomes reality.
The Universe is already complete.
The question is whether we will become one with it.
