INTRODUCTION
β¨ In this profound teaching, Master Woo Myung explains that true wisdom does not come from books, knowledge, or clever speechβwisdom arises only when one becomes Truth. Since all human actions come from individual viewpoints and false minds, they cannot be true. Only the mind that has become one with the Universe, the infinite Energy and Light of Truth, can know what is proper, right, and eternally unchanging. π
ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
The Source of Wisdom Is Knowing Truth
Wisdom is knowing what is proper and right. One has wisdom only when he has become Truth.
You may not understand or agree if you were told that from the perspective of Truth everything everyone in the world says and does is a lie. However, this is in fact true, because all people act from within their minds, from their own point of view. These actions are their perspective only – their words and actions are false because their minds are false.
A person who has become Truth itself is not fickle because he is Truth. He can be trusted eternally because his mind is the mind of oneness. On the other hand, manβs mind changes at the drop of a hat, so it is impossible to trust what he says.
When oneβs mind becomes one with the mind of Truth, he sees and hears from the viewpoint of the principles of Truth. There is a world of difference between what he knows and what a false person knows. Such a person also knows that nothing is right or correct in the illusion that is human life.
When one becomes Truth, that exists of and by itself, there are no obstacles or hindrances and it is freedom without constraints. Everything in the world exists within oneβs self, and he is an eternal and never-dying immortal that has transformed into the Energy and Light of Truth where life and death do not exist. Therefore, he is the son of Truth, a divine being, an enlightened sage.
Manβs mind is dead and does not know the principles of the world. As much as his consciousness grows, the more he comes to know; namely, when he discards his own consciousness and becomes the consciousness of God through the eight levels, he comes to have wisdom.
When one sees the world after he has become the Soul and Spirit of the Universe, there is nothing that he does not know; he comes to know everything, of and by himself.
People believe that wisdom can be found in books or in good speeches, but there is no wisdom unless one has cleansed his mind and has been resurrected as the Energy and Light of the Universe. Only God, the mind of the Creator, has wisdom.
If we do not become that mind, if we do not become God, all of our words and actions are false; they are just our illusions.
We must have the wisdom of Godβthe infinite light of the Universe.
When oneβs mind that is the size of his shape and form grows to become as big as the original consciousness of the infinite Universe, oneβs individual consciousness no longer exists and only Truth remains. Only at this time, or in other words, only when one has become clean and Truth alone remains, does wisdom appear. This is the reason becoming Truth is the source of wisdom.

REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
At Santa Clara Meditation, practitioners learn how to discard the false human consciousness and become the consciousness of the Universe, the original Energy and Light. Only then can one know Truth directly and gain the wisdom of God.
Through this method, one becomes the eternal, undying existence where all knowledge, clarity, and Truth are revealed from within. π
