β¨ INTRODUCTION
In this teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that all creations come from the original foundationβthe existence before form. Although Truth is ever-present, people lose sight of it because they live inside the false picture world created by their own minds.
True salvation is possible only when the master of the original foundation appears in human form. Through Him, people can destroy their false world and be reborn in the land of Truth, where eternal life exists. Those who return to the original foundation gain their true body and mind, living forever beyond physical death. π
The purpose of life is not simply to exist temporarily, but to be born again in the living land of Truth where no death exists.
π ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
Salvation Comes to Pass Only When the Master of the Original Foundation Comes as a Human Being
The world is enlightened,
but man living in the false world, is not enlightened.
All creations come from the original foundation,
live in the original foundation,
and return to it.
But having lost the original foundation,
man has a world of his own mind with which he lives,
and the original foundation does not exist in his mind.
Originally, manβs mind and the world are one
but man has taken pictures of the world inside his mind,
and he lives in this world of his mind;
an illusionary picture world.
Such is the reason man is dead.
When nothing in the world exists, it is the original foundation,
and when everything exists, it is still the original foundation.
Those who become the mind of the original foundation
will always live in the original foundation.
But those in their mind worlds live inside that world always,
and when they die,
they will die forever since they do not have life.
Currently, the average life span for men is around seventy-six years,
and for women it is eighty-one years.
People are not born in the world only to die
and disappear after living to the end of their life span.
The purpose, the reason, people live is to live eternally
in the completed land without death.
In order for a person to live in this land,
he must realize that he and his own world are false,
destroy this false world,
and be reborn as the substance of Truth in the land of Truth.
Only then can he live forever.
If, while one is living, his mind returns to the original foundation,
the true existence,
and he is reborn with the body and mind of this existence,
he regains his original body and mind – he comes to his true senses.
Such a person will live forever even after his body dies
because he has been born again and resurrected
within the land of his mind while he is still living.
Letβs assume for a moment,
that you have been burned to death.
Even so, your self that has been born as Truth would still exist.
One who does not have the original foundation
that is life and resurrection within him does not have life,
and therefore he is dead.
When he dies, he is dead and disappears.
If he repeatedly and completely eliminates his false body and mind,
the original foundation – God – will live.
It is the way of the world that everything in the world
comes from the original foundation,
lives in the original foundation,
and returns to the original foundation.
Only when the master – the true owner –
of the original foundation comes as a human being,
can the whole world be saved in the land of the original foundation.

π± REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
People live within their picture-world minds, believing it to be reality. Through meditation, one can destroy these illusions and return to the original foundation, gaining new life while still living.
True salvation is rebirth into the land of Truth. When the master of the original foundation appears in human form, He guides people to discard falseness and recover their true body and mind.
Only then can humanity live eternally beyond death.
This is the purpose of meditation:
to be reborn in the original foundation, the eternal existence.
