💡 INTRODUCTION
What remains unchanged even as everything changes?
In this poetic reflection, Master Woo Myung compares life to a silent river that flows through time. People come and go, experiences shift, the world evolves—but the universe, which is Truth, remains eternal and unchanging.
🌌 Truth is not something one can possess materially. Even those who seem to “have everything” do not have what is real. What humans carry are false minds—attachments, illusions, beliefs—and they don’t even realize it.
🌿 But when a person is reborn in the Kingdom of Oneness, they awaken from their scripted dream, and live in the true, eternal Heaven. To live with the soul and spirit of the universe is to become purity itself, beyond even the concepts of “clean” or “clear.”
This writing is a profound call to wake up from the dream of self and live as the master of the world—with the true mind of the universe.

📝 ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
The River Is Silent
The river is silent
in the past and present.
All the people of the past have gone
and new people have come.
Even though everything in the universe continuously changes,
what eternally does not change is the universe.
The universe existed before eternity,
and will exist after eternity;
that is the only Truth there is.
One is real when he has Truth, which is real, within him;
he is Truth,
and he will live as is without death.
Whether a person possesses anything or nothing,
a person has tens of thousands of kinds of possessions.
Even if he pretends to have everything,
no one has what is real, Truth.
What humans have are useless false minds,
and no one knows that his mind is false.
All creation lives when
one is reborn in the kingdom that is one.
He will live in the kingdom of oneness forever.
Do not live without knowing the reason
why you live, what you live for, and where you go.
When you live in Truth
you can know the ways of the world
and live as the master of the world.
Whether you know or not depends on
whether you have Truth or falseness in your mind,
whether your mind is big or small,
and whether your mind is clean or dirty.
The true mind is the soul and spirit of the universe.
It is purity itself
that transcends the words ‘clean’ and ‘clear’.
The birth and death of humans,
the existence and non-existence of humans,
all are nature’s flow; it is logic and reason.
In the kingdom where all existence lives,
all is alive and ‘I’ am alive.
This kingdom is the complete heaven.
When humans awake from their dreams and are reborn
they will know what it feels like to be awake.
They will understand the mind of an awakened person.
In their dreams humans do not know what is what
for they have no choice
but to dream what is written in the script of their dreams.
– Woo Myung
