ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
The Way Forward for Man
Wanting to live the good life, a life of comfort, is the desire and state of mind of people currently living in the world. They live for this purpose but the further they go down this path, the more hopeless and wretched they become. This kind of life only brings suffering and burden.
Man suffers because he tries to make the world adjust to him. He does this because he lives with a mind of the past, which is formed by storing the experiences of his life in his mind. However, this is an act of betrayal against the world. He lives in a non-existent world, which is made by copying everything in heaven and earth—the real world. He suffers because he tries to make the world and the things in the world suit him.
Although man believes he is living in the world, he is actually living in the mind he made by taking pictures of the things in the world. Man cannot live in the true world, because he lives a life of his conceptions and habits. Such a life is in itself false and a non-existent picture. It therefore follows that man’s politics, learning, and everything in his life are all false. He also believes in false religions and adheres to their rules.
Whether or not one’s life is righteous depends on whether he looks at the world from the world’s perspective or his own. Man does not exist even while he lives in the world because he does not exist in the true world. What exists in the true world exists and what does not exist in the true world does not exist. This world is true, but if man does not live in this world but in a non-existent world, an illusionary picture, he himself is an illusion and a ghost.
Man becomes righteous only when he destroys this picture world and is reborn in the true world. Only when he is born in this world will he stop speaking about illusions and instead speak of Truth. Then he will live a life without conflict, a life of universal order. He will have no self and live harmoniously with the people of the world.
This is haewonsangsaeng—the resolution of all human bitterness and regret and living for others—and this is the only way to love one’s enemies, have great wisdom and great freedom and liberation. This is the only way to live in the complete world.
