All things are different in form, but one in essenceβthis is the eternal truth of the oneness. πΏ
In this illuminating teaching, Master Woo Myung reminds us that everything in existence, from the stars to each human being, arises from the one perfect originβand to that oneness it shall return. π
Though creations appear individual, their original nature and foundation are the same. This shared origin is what makes each being not only connected, but already complete and perfect as it is. When individuality fades, oneness is revealed. When we awaken to this reality, we live not as isolated selves, but as expressions of one perfect whole.
Through Santa Clara Meditation, one can discard the false sense of separation and rediscover the eternal unity behind all appearancesβthe perfection of oneness within and without.
The Whole of Creation is the Oneness
The whole of creation is the oneness.
The whole of creation comes from the oneness,
and it returns to the oneness.
When their individuality disappears,
they become the oneness;
when their individuality exists,
they are not the oneness.
Every creation acquires a different image
depending on condition.
All creations are the oneness;
they come from the oneness,
and to it they will return.
The original nature and foundation of all creations
are the same.
Their purposes are the same β
the purpose being that though they may be individual,
their foundations are the same,
for those foundations all came from the oneness.
They all came from the one perfectness
and have become individual perfections,
which is why those individuals are perfection itself,
and are one.
That they are perfection itself means that
they are perfect as individuals.
