π‘ INTRODUCTION
What does a “heavenly being” or a savior look like? Human ignorance often leads us to expect someone supernatural, arriving from the sky with an extraordinary appearance. However, in this eye-opening poem, Master Woo Myung reveals that the true heavenly being is simply someone who has completely emptied their false self to become Heaven. Because this person walks among us with a familiar, ordinary face, people fail to recognize the profound divinity within them. True salvation isn’t found in mystical illusions, but in the complete absence of the self. π

π EXCERPT FROM βSTRANGERβ BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
“A familiar face is walking over into the yonder, but because we are used to seeing him, we do not realize that he is a heavenly being. Due to their ignorance, people think that the heavenly being is a person who has come from the sky. But when one is completely absent of his self, he becomes Heaven, and when he returns from Heaven, he exists; thus it is he who is the heavenly being. […]
The heavenly being who you think about when you close your eyes and the heavenly being who you think about even when you open your eyes is among you β all the more reason why you do not know him.”
π± REFLECT AT SANTA CLARA MEDITATION
We often spend our lives searching for miracles or waiting for an extraordinary figure to save us, completely missing the Truth that is already right in front of us. At Santa Clara Meditation, we learn that you do not need to look up at the physical sky to find Heaven. By diligently practicing the method to discard your false, self-centered mind, you can become completely absent of your “self.” When your false self disappears, the mind of Heaven remains. Awaken from your illusions and discover the eternal Truth that exists right here and now. π§ββοΈβ¨
