INTRODUCTION
💧 In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung reveals that true repentance is not about confessing before an external God but returning to the God within — the True Mind, the origin of all existence.
Human beings live within false worlds of their own making — worlds built from images, memories, and judgments. When we repent, we discard these false images so that only Truth remains. True repentance, therefore, is the act of cleansing the mind of falseness until the True Mind of God shines within.
Master Woo Myung warns that to repent within one’s false self — within the human mind — only strengthens delusion. True repentance happens only when one repents to the existence of Truth within, the living God that exists beyond illusion. 🌸
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
One Must Repent to God — the True Mind — That Is Within Him
The reason we repent is so that we can go from our false worlds to the true world and be reborn there. We repent so that we can discard our minds that are false and become the true mind. It is also in order to discard ourselves that are sinners and become our true selves.
One’s sins are the falseness in his mind. Therefore, when one discards the falseness within himself, he is discarding his sins. One must throw away the images inside his mind until only Truth remains. One must repent to God, the true mind, until all of his sins have disappeared.
A ghost is still a ghost even if it repents. This is because it repents from within the ghost world – from within the ghost’s mind. When one repents from inside his human mind instead of repenting to God, it remains in his mind as a delusion. Because he has this delusion in his mind, it eventually begets more delusions. When these delusions form into action, he will commit countless transgressions.
When people who are false, illusions and ghosts “repent” together, it makes the participators collective ghosts. They become members of a ghost “gang” in their minds. In medical terms this is called joint megalomania. If the host of this condition is false, his delusions will continue in an endless stream of falseness, so all those who have entered into his collective megalomania will end up in this “gang” forever. There is nothing more dangerous in the world than this, where people end up crazy – patients of collective megalomania. Out of touch with reality, they are demented without knowing that they are so and they end up doing harm to society.
– Woo Myung
REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners are guided to repent not outwardly but inwardly — toward the True Mind, the divine consciousness within all. 🌼
Through the meditation method of mind subtraction, one discards the false self, the illusions, and the images that conceal the God within.
When repentance becomes pure — directed toward Truth and not one’s own ego — one is reborn in the land of the True Mind. This is the genuine salvation: the death of falseness and the awakening to the eternal living God inside. 🌅
